Save Our Sound’s mission is to secure permanent protection for Nantucket Sound by designating it as a National Historic Landmark. Nantucket Sound is the historic body of water that lies between Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. 

Formed in 2002 in response to a proposal to build a 25-square-mile wind energy project in the Sound. Save Our Sound and its 5,000+ supporters oppose the industrialization of Nantucket Sound due to conflicts inherent at that location. They are also concerned about diminished water quality, coastal erosion, habitat degradation, and other effects of climate change.  Supporters include environmentalists, chambers of commerce, fishermen, Native American tribes, ferry operators, airport commissions, business trade groups, municipalities, homeowners, and others.
