The Long Island Sound Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan revision process is currently underway. If you live, work, or play in the Long Island Sound region, this plan could affect on-the-ground projects near you. If there are environmental challenges in your life and community that you want to make sure are addressed, let us know! This is YOUR opportunity to help steer conservation funding decisions for the next 10 years.

The project is led by the Long Island Sound Study, a partnership of CT Sea Grant, NY Sea Grant, the EPA and other groups to restore and protect the Sound. The CCMP revision process is collaborative and will include public meetings where you can help shape what the plan will look like. Public meetings will take place on May 8 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven.

You can also attend virtual sessions on May 11 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.; May 14 from 3 to 4:30 p.m.; and from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

A guided walk around Haley Farm State Park. Staff from the Connecticut Reserve and CT Sea Grant will lead a walking tour from the parking lot, along Palmer Cove, and through the upland habitats. Haley Farm is part of the newly established Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve, which was designated in January 2022 and is one of 30 Research Reserves in the country that study and protect estuarine habitats. Come learn why Haley Farm State Park is so special and about some of the work the Reserve staff is doing to monitor, improve, and protect this area. You will also learn about the work of CT Sea Grant and how the two organizations complement one another in supporting thriving and diverse coastal ecosystems and communities. This walk will be approx. 1.75 miles on some uneven ground. All are welcome, including well-behaved and leashed dogs.
