The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $2,204,040 Project Grant to Save The Sound Inc. under the Geographic Programs - Long Island Sound Program (CFDA 66.437). The purpose of this 27-month grant, with an award date of October 1, 2025 and completion date of December 31, 2027, is to coordinate and implement the Unified Water Study to establish a comparable bay-to-bay dataset describing the eutrophic conditions and environmental health of 50 embayments around the Long Island Sound. The grant will fund 37 sub-awards to water quality monitoring groups, with Tier 1 activities collecting sampling data on dissolved oxygen, water clarity, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, and macrophytes, and Tier 2 activities monitoring nitrogen, phosphorus, continuous dissolved oxygen, and quantitative macrophytes in 12 embayments. The resulting data will be published and distributed for citizen science use. The project also includes funding the first steps to add coastal acidification monitoring to the Unified Water Study.
