Citizen Science:
The 25th Annual Long Island Sound Citizens Summit will focus on the very citizens who are taking action to protect the Sound. We will celebrate their efforts, roll out new innovative tools for understanding the Sound's health, and dedicate an entire afternoon of workshops to citizen science monitoring, data analysis, and communicating science with clarity and impact.
Workshops include:
Our Getting to know the Summit section below will be continously updated with stories, reports, tips and more! Be sure to check in often to see what's next.
We thank the Citizen Groups Participating in Session 2, "Making Your Message Work." Looks to be an exciting hour!
