Human Impact on Long Island Sound

with Colin Puckett, Save the Sound

Discover how everyday activities affect the health of Long Island Sound and the wildlife that depends on it.

Through an engaging demonstration using Save the Sound’s interactive Enviroscape watershed model, you’ll see how stormwater runoff and pollution travel from our neighborhoods to our waterways – and learn practical green infrastructure solutions that help protect water quality.

We’ll also explore how climate change is intensifying these challenges through heavier rainfall and how restoring natural landscapes can create cleaner water, healthier habitats, and more resilient coastlines.

Coastal Conversations is a free community speaker series that brings leading experts to Eco Park to explore the science, beauty, and future of Connecticut’s coastline.
