Long Island Sound

Seeking a few good educators to be LIS Mentor Teachers

We are looking for teams of two K-12 teachers to join the Long Island Sound Mentor Teacher program! Do you teach about Long Island Sound, watersheds, and/or the ocean in your classroom? Would you like to help others do the same? We’d love to have you as part of our team!

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.

Trying to give up single-use plastics can seem like a fool’s errand, with nearly every imaginable product you can buy ensconced in plastic packaging. A few of us at CTSG decided to try anyway for a week last month, as part of the international Plastic-Free July initiative. This article, published in The Day and CT Hearst newspapers the week of Aug. 11, introduces the 8th annual #DontTrashLISound campaign that kicks off Aug. 17.
