Read the Spring 2022 issue of Sound Matters, the newsletter of the Long Island Sound Study. PDF version available here. The issue includes an article on the fiscal year 2023 budget and highlights the LIS Respire project, LISS-funded science research that has helped to guide a new network to monitor coastal acidification in the Sound. It also highlights a blog post on the Ph.D student describing the use of videos to conduct research of coastal marsh birds who have evolved to adapt to the wet conditions of the marsh, but now face existential threats due to sea level rise.
