A history of the environment and communities on both shores of the Long Island Sound.

Bordered on the south by the Atlantic Ocean and on the north by Long Island Sound, the Peconic Bay region has only recently been recognized for its environmental and economic significance. Peconic Bay examines the past 400 years of the region's history, tracing the growth of the fishing industry, the rise of tourism, and the impact of a military presence in the wake of September 11.
