LIS programs funded

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. Research will study LIS habitats, marine life and workforce diversity.

The projects recommended for funding would receive nearly $900,000 in federal grant funds that would be leveraged by about $458,000 in matching funds, for a total research investment of more than $1.35 million. Release of the funding is pending final approval from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
