Members of a Long Island group are calling on officials to take immediate action to improve the Island's water quality.
The Long Island Clean Water Partnership released a report that shows between May and September every major bay and estuary was afflicted by either a toxic algae bloom or oxygen-starved waters.
"Things are worse than ever and something has to be done," says Dick Amper, of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society.
The group wants local, state and federal officials to look into ways to reduce nitrogen coming from septic systems and fertilizers.
