An aerial view after Superstorm Sandy shows the breach to the West Pond. Salt water now pours into the pond, endangering the habitat for wildlife, including snapping turtles, muskrats and migrating birds. The National Park Service is mulling ways to restore a portion of the pond as freshwater. – Lisa Colangelo – NY DAILY NEWS
