Public Perception Survey of Long Island Sound Watershed Residents

The Long Island Sound Study was established in 1985 as a collaborative effort to restore and protect the Sound. The partners include federal, state, interstate, and local government agencies, industries, universities, and non-profit groups. Community residents have always been an important part of this mix. Since the 1980s, for instance, thousands of volunteers have organized in groups to clean up litter from beaches, and to help restore and protect coastal lands. Thousands more have attended coastal events sponsored by government and non-profit groups to learn more about the Sound, and what they can do to protect it.
