Brown tide threatens marine life off Long Island
The so-called brown tide off the south shore of Long Island threatens marine life.
Dr. Chris Gobler is a marine scientist at Stony Brook University. He has traced brown tides on Long Island back to the mid-1980s. The organism is what caused the downfall of the bay scallops in the Peconic Estuary.
And now the damaging tide is threatening seagrass and hard clams in the Great South Bay. Gobler said readings since mid-June have shown concentrations as high as half a million cells per milliliter; anything above 35,000 cells per milliliter is harmful.

Aid coming to help keep baymen afloat as government declares Peconic Bay scallop fishery a disaster
News 12 Staff
Updated on: Jul 14, 2021, 10:16pm
The federal government recently declared the Peconic Bay scallop fishery a national disaster, which will allow baymen who make a living on the scallops to collect federal disaster aid.
Since the 1980s, the Peconic Bay scallop has suffered numerous setbacks.
For the past two years, the scallop, considered the jewel of the Peconic Bay, has turned up dead at harvest time.
With 80% to 90% of the scallops turning up dead and more than a million dollars in lost revenue, baymen say they want answers as to how and why.
