LISS CCMP Enhancement Award Program
Long Island Sound is one of North America's most urban and biologically diverse estuaries. While the Sound is a resource of extraordinary productivity, it is under significant stress. The New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) and the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) administer the LISS CCMP Enhancement Award Program to fund innovative, cost-effective project proposals aimed at protecting and restoring the Sound's living resources, water quality, and vital habitats; promoting sound land use, and engaging the public, educators and communities. Annual Enhancement priority topics are selected by the LISS Management Committee based on program needs. The submission period for the 2010 Enhancement Award is now closed.
