Save the Sounds Peter Linderoth Director Healthy waters

About this episode

Peter Linderoth discusses the efforts of Save the Sound in monitoring water quality and protecting the Long Island Sound.

Peter Linderoth, Director of healthy waters and lands for Save the Sound. First of all In my opinion, we're very lucky to have Save The Sound on the beat protecting our wonderful Long Island sound. In case you're not aware of Save The Sound, they lead environmental action in our region. They fight climate change, save endangered lands, protect the Sound and its rivers, and work with nature to restore ecosystems…. part of that is monitoring water quality in our area. So to that end Peter is here today to talk about Save The Sounds most recent Beach Grades for water quality at more than 200 public and private beaches based on data collected during the 2025 swimming season.
