Welcome.
The Long Island Sound Study (LISS) is a cooperative effort involving researchers, regulators, user groups and other concerned organizations and individuals. These people are working together to protect and improve the health of the Sound by implementing the Sound's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan completed in 1994.

 
 Spotlight: Monitoring the Sound
Sound Health 2008 went aboard the research vessel John Dempsey of the CT Dept. of Environmental Protection to learn how water quality is monitored. See water quality monitoring.
