CT Listening Session Set for June 26

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Long Island Sound Study (LISS) invites you to learn about and comment on the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) update process. The first CCMP was completed in 1994. The updated CCMP will address current and emerging issues and resource management systems.

The goals of the LISS are to improve Sound water quality, protect habitat and living resources, educate and involve the public, improve the long-term understanding of how to manage the Sound, monitor progress, and guide management efforts. The LISS uses the CCMP as a blueprint to develop strategies and programs to reach long and short term goals. You can find out more about the update plans on LISS’s CCMP update page.

The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m,, and will include:

• Presentation on urban sustainability in relation to Long Island Sound management
• Short PowerPoint on the CCMP background and update process
•  Breakout sessions to brainstorm and gather feedback from participants on issues and objectives
