While they are having some problems in Long sland Sound with the lobsters,
generally NY waters are light years from what they used to be. 20 ft vis is
commonplace and it is not unusual to have top to bottom vis on some of the
inshore wreck, which means 30-40 ft of vis.

THe end of offshore dumping by the city of ny has really helped things, in some
areas yards of silt have been washed away revealing wreck sections not seen for
decades.
