The Seaside in Waterford: Connecticut’s first new coastal state park in 50 years
Fall Patrols on western Long Island Sound
In the past week I went on two patrols of the Sound with local fishermen and Sound enthusiasts. Getting out on the water with local boaters is the best way to explore the many local treasures along our coastline and to learn about community concerns, challenges and opportunities.
Celebrating National Estuaries Week
We’re celebrating Long Island Sound with a series of events all this week!

International Coastal Cleanup is here!
Let’s get the plastic bags, bottles, caps, packaging, and cigarette butts off our beaches and protect Long Island Sound!
