**LONG ISLAND SOUND DEBRIS FIELD**
Attention all mariners in the Long Island Sound area. The National
Weather Service in coordination with the United States Coast
Guard have received reports of a large debris field across Long
Island Sound, caused by recent flooding across New England. This
will create some hazards for boaters, swimmers, and watercraft in
the affected area.
The debris vary from trees, logs, coolers, and docks and may not be
easily visible. Boaters should exercise caution and be mindful of
the debris. We encourage everyone to make responsible decisions
when engaging in water activities near the Connecticut River and
Long Island Sound.
Please stay updated with local weather reports and official
announcements for any further information. Your safety is
important to us. Share this information with fellow mariners and
water enthusiasts to ensure awareness of the debris flow in the
Long Island Sound.
Stay safe and informed.
