Forces of Nature: Bob DeLuca

Bob DeLuca is President and CEO of Group for the East End, a nonprofit leading the way in protecting and restoring the environment of Eastern Long Island through education, conservation, and advocacy. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from Fordham University and an M.S. in Environmental Science from the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse. DeLuca joined Gianna Volpe on Heart of the East End as part of The WNET Group's Forces of Nature series. They start with a brief explanation of the rebound of the osprey population, then dive into the work that Group for the East End is doing for Long Island's water quality. DeLuca outlines details of water quality restoration funding, the impacts of "forever chemicals" in drinking water, how different septic systems have different environmental impacts, and more.
