Introducing the Long Island Sound Crossing Prioritization Tool
Friday, February 6, 2026 from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Free Webinar
Join us for a free webinar to learn how municipalities can use the Long Island Sound Crossing Prioritization Tool to prioritize road-stream crossings (culverts and bridges) for ecological, infrastructure, and community resilience benefits.
The tool helps communities plan improvements that restore habitat for diadromous fishes, strengthen infrastructure against climate change, and keep communities connected. Save the Sound staff will provide a brief overview of the larger project behind the tool and lead a live demonstration showing how it can be applied in the watershed.
