Deadline: March 19, 2026
Major research investment focuses on key aspects of LIS ecosystem
In the largest Long Island Sound research award in the history of the collaboration between CTSG, NYSG and the Long Island Sound Study, 13 projects have been selected that will improve understanding of factors impacting several fish species, shellfish, water quality and restoration of salt marshes.
UConn doctoral student awarded NOAA-Sea Grant fellowship
Halle Berger, a UConn marine sciences doctoral student, is one of 10 early career scientists awarded the 2024 National Marine Fisheries-Sea Grant Fellowship that provides support for critical fisheries research. Her research focuses on sea scallops, one of the most valuable fisheries in the United States.
Research funding orientation meeting slated for Oct. 18
CT Sea Grant will host an orientation meeting on Oct. 18 aimed at introducing new and interested researchers to CTSG and CTSG research opportunities, in addition to providing a primer on submitting grants to CTSG and including outreach and education components in your grant proposals.
Research will study LIS habitats, marine life, workforce diversity
Six research projects relevant to Long Island Sound and continuing improvements in its restoration and management have been selected by Connecticut Sea Grant for the 2024-2026 funding cycle.
Preliminary proposals sought for 2019-2021 Long Island Sound research
Connecticut Sea Grant and New York Sea Grant announce the Long Island Sound Study extra-mural research program. The intent of this program is to fund research that will support the management of Long Island Sound and its resources.
Projects to advance knowledge of LIS water quality, marine life
Long Island Sound’s marine life and water quality will be the focus of five two-year research projects Connecticut Sea Grant will support in 2018. Proposals by four research teams from the University of Connecticut and one from Yale University School were chosen for the awards
Paper co-authored by Sea Grant’s Pomeroy cited for excellence
Congratulations are in order for Robert Pomeroy, CT Sea Grant extension specialist in aquaculture and fisheries, after the announcement that a journal article he co-authored has been chosen for an award by the Editorial Board of the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society.
Cleaner Mystic River could give shellfishermen room to grow
When the sewage treatment plant on the Mystic River was upgraded in 2015, probably few community residents here imagined local shellfish farmers might benefit, let alone oyster and clam growers across the country. But that’s a possibility, depending on the results of a $300,000 federally funded testing project now underway.
