The Public Involvement and Education Work Group (PIE) was transformed and renamed to the Communications, Outreach, and Engagement Work Group (COE) in March 2023. This new work group aims to encourage deeper and wider collaboration across the full diversity of Sound communities in support of the Long Island Sound Study’s mission to conserve, restore, and sustain the Sound and its magnificent aquatic and shoreline resources.
Join us for our first meeting scheduled for April 27, 2023! We are looking for non-formal educators, outreach professionals, and communications specialists from organizations and community groups whose work aligns with that of LISS: to support conserving the Long Island Sound watershed and connecting audiences to it.

The purpose of the COE (Communications, Outreach, and Engagement) work group is to connect the people living in the Long Island Sound watershed to the Long Island Sound estuary through communications, outreach, and engagement to improve environmental awareness, knowledge, stewardship, and equal access to the local environment.
