On June 27, 2015, the Nature Conservancy held its annual Beaches and Bays Gala at the private home of Priscilla Rattazzi and Chris Whittle on Georgica Pond. Their home on Georgica Pond has one of the most beautiful water views on eastern Long Island. Yet it, like so many ponds, harbors and bays on Long Island, was affected by harmful algal blooms last summer—caused by excess nitrogen. The Nature Conservancy is leading a science-based campaign to improve water quality and fix the problem of excess nitrogen. Only then will our marine systems become healthier and more productive. Revenue raised from The Nature Conservancy’s Summer Benefit will be used to develop and implement stronger water quality standards and to protect and manage Long Island’s rich environment of wetlands, bays, harbors and forests.
