About the Summit
Historic public funding investments in our nation’s water infrastructure and natural resource resilience make this a critical moment to advance local actions that restore and protect cleaner, healthier water.
In response, the Long Island Sound Coastal Watershed Network is hosting its inaugural Long island Sound Summit on March 30, 2023 at Port Jefferson, NY.
Please plan to attend the Summit as we dive into new approaches and opportunities to target and reduce consumer plastics and debris, fecal bacteria, and nitrogen entering the Sound through stormwater, sewage, and groundwater. The Summit will be held in-person at the Village Center in Port Jefferson, NY.
Plenary Panel: Showcasing Clean Water Projects & Resources
The Summit will include a plenary panel featuring presentations from NY and CT speakers and will include a panel discussion moderated by Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. Learn about these local water quality projects, their success and challenges, and available resources.
Roundtable Workshop Discussions
Join the Summit and participate in lively conversations about clean water projects, resources, and topics during the Roundtable Workshop Discussions!
Each Roundtable Workshop Discussion will focus on a specific topic for 35-minutes. A roundtable moderator will present information and kick off targeted group discussion. Participants can choose roundtable topics and sessions they would like to join.
