Geographic Programs � Long Island Sound Program

The Long Island Sound Program: (1) implements the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP); and (2) assists the states of Connecticut and New York and other public or nonprofit entities in implementation, research, planning, enforcement, and citizen involvement and education related to reducing pollution and improving the quality of the environment to sustain living resources in the Long Island Sound. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Long Island Sound will receive $21 million for FY 2022 through CWA �119 and $909,800/year through CWA �320. These allocations are expected to continue for five years, through 2026. The LISS goal for IIJA funding is to significantly improve Long Island Sound�s environmental health, climate resilience, and economic vitality in an equitable manner in communities across the Sound�s watershed.
