side II necessary and identify by block number) 



Long Island Sound, covering almost 3,400~square kilometers of the region 

 between Long Island, New York, and the Connecticut mainland, was studied using 

 700 kilometers of high-resolution seismic profiles and 75 vibratory cores to 

 determine the geologic character and Quaternary history and evolution of the 

 Sound, as well as to assess the resource potential of sand and gravel in sea- 

 floor deposits.
