Sea grass and tree roots are seen along the Fire Island National Seashore on one side of a breach in Fire Island, New York, October 27, 2014. Superstorm Sandy that killed at least 159 people and destroyed more than 650,000 homes when it slammed the U.S. East Coast two years ago, also tore two breaches through the long barrier island that lies across the murky Great South Bay from New York's Long Island. The gap that remains open is allowing the Atlantic Ocean to surge in and out of the bay, and the water near the breach is cleaner, with more plentiful fish, than it has been in decades.
