Little Fish

Long Island’s water quality is so important. We have a lot of work to do to limit these pollutants from taking over our waters. . . . . #littlefish #littlefishreporting #worldwaterday #worldwaterday2020 #wwd #wwd2020 #longisland #liny #climatechange #runoff #pesticides #fertilizer #nitrogenpollution #nitrogen https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZUCB3ntjn/?igshid=45nsukx6s5j4

This years theme for World Water Day is water and climate change. We will explore the direct correlations between water and climate change leading up to World Water Day on March 22, 2020! . . . . #longisland #littlefish #littlefishreporting #worldwaterday #march22 #waterchange #climatechange #solutions #globalwarming #greenhouse #greenhousegases #gogreen #sustainableliving #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PEs3LnpiE/?igshid=tz4ywkl7jcif

The Scuppet (large scale sculpted puppet) you saw in our last post was this adorable fish, Yellow Perch. They take up 20% of the fish population in the United States by living in warm and cold freshwater lakes and ponds everywhere. . . . . #littlefish #littlefishreporting #yellowperch #perch #fish #freshwaterfishing #freshwater #greenandyellow #gold #schooloffish #schoolingfish #millerspond #longisland #newyork #conservation #nitrogenpollution #nitrogen #cleanwater https://www.instagram.com/p/B7q4f-yHhXQ/?igshid=153g3lge0s7j1

Yellow Perch start spawning next month! Their eggs are extruded in long ribbons along underwater vegetation, branches and trees. Let’s keep our water clean for the new fish arriving in the Spring! . . . . #littlefish #littlefishreporting #yellowperch #fishing #spawning #vegetation #gogreen #fisheggs #spring #winter #conservation #puppet #largescale #stormdrain #runoff #nitrogen #pollution #papermache #papermacheart https://www.instagram.com/p/B7l6HdZHo3C/?igshid=jfp6moueszrs

#Repost @lisoundstudy ・・・ Nuisance flooding in low lying areas associated with high tides, and exacerbated by climate change, is on the rise in coastal towns. More winter precipitation occurring as rain, more intense storms that concentrate both the amount and intensity of rain, and wind that can amplify wave action and shoreline erosion, can lead to road closures and property damage. Educating towns, and residents, about the impacts of climate change – and how to become more resilient to these threats – is an important goal of the Long Island Sound Study Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. 📸: Flooded road along the shoreline in Old Saybrook, CT.

Fish are still slightly active under the ice in this cold Winter weather! The oxygen depletes from decaying plants, so their swimming becomes slower as well as their heart rate. Nitrogen pollution doesn’t go away either. It settles to the bottom, where the fish are relaxing, and will bloom again when the weather becomes warmer. 💚🐠❄️ . . . . #littlefish #littlefishreporting #nitrogenpollution #nitrogen #pollution #hab #habs #harmfulalgalbloom #algaebloom #algae #localpond #pondlife #bass #perch #decay #decaying #bluegill #sunfish #carp #river #riverlife #freshwaterfish #freshwater #brackishwater #winter #millerspond #longisland #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Q46y9n8zZ/?igshid=13wurgjsvr7il

Wow! Thank you Town of Hempstead! 🐠🌍💚 #Repost @surfridercentralli ・・・ Today, the Town of Hempstead, America’s largest town, voted YES to banning the legal intentional release of balloons!! Balloons released into the air eventually deflate and land on the ground or in waterways, wreaking havoc on our wildlife. We find them in increasing numbers in our beach cleanups. We hope this will now change! Thank you so much to the Town of Hempstead and all our partner orgs for attacking this issue head-on, from September’s press conference with @countyexecutivecurran to todays’s historic vote! And thanks to nearly 400 of YOU who signed our petition to support this bill!! Nassau County, you are next!! @stewards_of_the_sea @all_our_energy @operationsplash @citizensenviro @surfridermidatlantic @surfrider #balloonsblow #balloonreleaseban #riseaboveplastics #protectwhatyoulove #surfrider #surfridercentralli #unitedstatesandoceansofamerica #townofhempstead #thankyou #victory https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xsVLsHqYX/?igshid=1jlcpiehaowoa

Long Island is home to incredible environmental organizations such as Friends of the Bay. They’re goal is to help protect, preserve and restore the Oyster Bay/ Cold Spring Harbor estuary and watershed. Volunteers for Wildlife, Inc. will join them in educating us on our wildlife and ecosystems here! . . . . #littlefish #littlefishreporting #friendsofthebay #coldspringharbor #estuary #oysterbay #longisland #wildlife #longisland #volunteer #ecosystem #livinglocal #watershed #longislandsound #gogreen #newyorkwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B4f1FZ2nHAH/?igshid=14p1we5tew4px
