What occurred
In 1927, a real-estate developer by the name of Carl Fisher moved soil and gravel to connect Lake Montauk to Block Island Sound and then to the Atlantic Ocean. Carl Fisher irreversibly changed Montauk’s marine ecosystem and is responsible for a lot of the buildings/foundations that you see in modern-day Montauk.
