  Great South Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great South Bay (actually a lagoon) is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 45 mi (72 km) long, forming a large natural harbor on the southern side of Long Island in the U.S. state of New York.
The bay is accessible from the ocean through the narrow Fire Island Inlet between the western tip of Fire Island and the easter tip of Jones Beach Island.
Development around the bay has led to a degradation of the bay's water quality, and to the rapid growth of eel grass.

 Great South Bay IBA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The area is a protected, open water bay behind Fire Island and Jones Beach Islands which extends roughly from the Nassua/Suffolk County line in the west to Bellport Bay in east.
Great South Bay is the receptacle for water from the more than a million people that live within the bay's drainage basin.
Non-point sources dominate the releases into the bay, producing nutrient loading that is followed by eutrophication and increased levels of fecal bacteria, which in turn lead to closure of large segments of the bay to shellfishing and other water-related activities.

 NYSG: Sweeping Great South Bay restoration plan (2004)
Great South Bay, NY, October 07, 2004- Today, The Nature Conservancy, Suffolk County Executives and the Bluepoints Bottomlands Council outlined their collaborative vision for the comprehensive restoration and protection of hard clams and overall restoration of Great South Bay.
Since its initial acquisition of 11,500 acres in December of 2002, The Conservancy's efforts have served as a catalyst to energize a multi-partner effort to restore the ecosystem of Great South Bay with hard clams, as a keystone species, being the focus of initial efforts.
The Nature Conservancy's underwater land holding, which covers over 20 percent of the bay's bottomlands, sits in the middle of the Great South Bay and its restoration is intrinsic to the recovery of the entire Bay.

Great South Bay Marina, Inc. protests the National Park Service's (NPS) award of a concession contract to Fire Island Concessions, LLC under prospectus No. CC-FIIS007-05, for concession services at Fire Island National Seashore.
