Lisff) Projects of Benefit to Both Connecticut and New York LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND 2013 PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND (LISFF) PROJECTS OF BENEFIT TO BOTH CONNECTICUT AND NEW YORK LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: The Long Island Sound Ecosystem Health Report Card System (NY, CT) (#39593) Recipient: University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science LISFF Grant: $ 135,568.00 (EPA, USFWS & LIS Funders Collaborative) Grantee Matching Funds: $ $50,702.00 Total Project Funds: $ 186,270.00 Project Area: Long Island Sound and 2 local embayments, Norwalk River, CT and Hempstead Harbor, NY. The project will develop a sustainable system of Long Island Sound and embayment ecosystem health report cards to communicate condition, track conservation and restoration activity effects, and engage communities. The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science will develop a sustainable system for production of Long Island Sound and embayment ecosystem health report cards. The project will initially engage two embayment partners including Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor/Hempstead Harbor in New York and Harbor Watch in Connecticut. University of Connecticut researchers will assist in all phases of report card development. Key project activities will be to: 1) develop the structure and protocols for broader and local development of report cards staring with a suite of water quality data collected Sound-wide and in two embayments; 2) provide a proven, user-friendly tool to build on that allows the public, resource managers, industry, and NGOs to better understand, track and respond to gains and losses in water quality and ecosystem condition in the Sound; 3) use a participatory approach to establish a sustainable culture of environmental report cards by engaging with key local NGOs, educational institutions, and public agencies in the development of the report card protocols and structure; and 4) produce and disseminate the first set of report cards as well as protocols to aid other organizations in developing new report card projects. LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: Conserving Coastal Birds through Stewardship and Outreach (CT, NY) (#39576) Long Island Sound Futures Fund - 2 Recipient: National Audubon Society, Inc. (Audubon Connecticut & Audubon New York) LISFF Grant: $ 69,744.01(EPA, FWS) Grantee Matching Funds: $ 62,286.32 Total Project Funds: $ 132,030.33 Project Area: Centre Island Town Beach, Bayville, Stehli Beach, Lattingtown, Oyster Bay, & Pelham Bay, NY; Barn Island, Sandy Point, Bluff Point, Sandy/Morse Point, West Haven, Silver Sands/Charles Island, Milford Point, Long and Pleasure Beaches, CT. The project will mobilize a cadre of 135 beach stewards, reach out to 30 classrooms and 10,000 beachgoers, boaters and the general public to reduce human disturbance and protect 130 acres of beach nesting habitat for endangered Piping plovers and Least tern at 11 beach nesting sites using stewardship and outreach tools. National Audubon Society education and science staff will train 135 people to steward beach nesting bird sites, monitor fenced areas and serve as beach docents during busy beach-use days. Trained stewards will lead bird walks to allow people to experience the beauty of the birds first- hand. The project will also provide a multi-session Audubon education program that teaches students in 30 classrooms about priority birds and habitats in Bridgeport and Greenwich, CT and Westbury, Hempstead, and Roosevelt, NY schools. The lessons culminate with students designing signs for bird nesting areas some of which will be installed to alert beach-goers of nesting areas and to reduce disturbance to birds. Signs will provide a Quick Response Code that can be scanned on a cell phone, allows visitors to access the “Be a Good Egg” website and then requests that they take a pledge to reduce threats to these birds and sign electronically. Two-hundred beach goers will be asked to take the “Be a Good Egg” pledge. Ultimately, the project will protect 130 acres of beach-nesting bird habitat at 9 sites supporting 55 breeding pairs of Piping Plovers and ~425 pairs of Least Tern. It aims to improve 11 beach-nesting bird sites through education and outreach by decreasing human disturbance; and to educate 10,000 people about sharing the shore with coastal waterbirds. Piping Plover nesting and hatching success is projected to increase from 1.21 to 1.5; and Least Tern from 0.23 to 0.5. These birds are threatened native species facing loss or degradation of their nesting areas because of human disturbance due to conflicts with recreational uses and predators, and sea level rise among other factors. The project will post monthly blogs and prepare Facebook posts three times a month. The blogs and posts will be linked with “Be a Good Egg” outreach. LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: Three Fish Passage Projects in CT and NY (#39295) Recipient: The Nature Conservancy LISFF Grant: $ 84,935.83(EPA) Grantee Matching Funds: $ 59,797 Total Project Funds: $ 144,732.83 Long Island Sound Futures Fund - 3 Project Area: Falls River, Essex, CT, Aspetuck River, Westport, CT and Beaver Brook, Oyster Bay, NY The project will construct two fishways and prepare a feasibility analysis and design for a third fishway to restore access to 5.2 miles of upstream habitat for alewife, blueback herring, American eel, sea-run trout and other native fish. The Nature Conservancy will modify three low-head dams to restore fish passage for for alewife, blueback herring, American eel, sea-run trout, and other native fish.: 1) At the Tilley- Pratt Dam a stone-wall lined channel will be modified with a rocky ramp and four stone weirs to develop a passable channel allowing fish to move upstream beyond the dam and opening up 2.5 miles of stream corridor and the half acre impoundment above the dam on Falls River, Essex, CT; 2) At the Newman dam footings will be constructed for the entrance and exit of a pool and a weir allowing fish to bypass the dam. This fishway will also be designed with field stone and wooden weirs opening up 1.2 miles of stream channel and associated wetlands on the Aspetuck River in Westport, CT; and 3) At the Beaver Brook Dam a feasibility analysis and design will be prepared that will one day open up 1.5 miles of stream corridor and over 110 acres of associated wetlands upstream of the dam in Mill Neck, NY. Two educational signs will be installed at the sites. ### LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECTS – CONNECTICUT Habitat Restoration and Species Conservation Implementation Grants - CT LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: Restoring Fish Passage, Pequabuck River (CT) (#39340) Recipient: Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency LISFF Grant: $ 100,000(EPA, FWS) Grantee Matching Funds: $ 116,723.00 Total Project Funds: $ 216,723.00 Project Area: Pequabuck River, Bristol, CT. The project will remove 3,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment and remove an impoundment to open 8.5 stream miles for passage by alewife, blueback herring, American shad, Aandmerican eel, Atlantic salmon, sea lamprey and other native fish. The Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency will remove 3000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment and remove an impoundment to fish passage restoring 8.5 stream miles for fish passage by alewife, blueback herring, American shad, American eel, Atlantic salmon, sea lamprey and other native fish. All sediment will be removed and transferred to an off-site Long Island Sound Futures Fund - 4 remediation facility for disposal. Partners include: Pequabuck River Watershed Association, Farmington River Watershed Association, Trout Unlimited, CT DEEP, and the City of Bristol. LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: Restoring Coastal Forest and New England Cottontail Habitat (CT) (#39400) Recipient: Groton Open Space Association, Inc. LISFF Grant: $ 100,000.00(FWS) Grantee Matching Funds: $ 90,675.00 Total Project Funds: $ 190,675.00 Project Area: Groton, CT. The project will restore 31 acres of coastal forest and 15 acres of coastal grassland and shrub/scrub habitat and create dispersal corridors to surrounding open space for New England Cottontail. Groton Open Space Association will restore 31 acres of coastal forest and 15 acres of coastal grassland and shrub/scrub habitat and create dispersal corridors to surrounding open space for New England Cottontail. The New England cottontail is the only rabbit native to Connecticut. In the mid-1930s, the rabbits were still considered abundant. However, as agricultural areas reverted to forest and these forests matured, the number of rabbits declined. The site is within the Ledyard Coastal focus area, a priority area for conservation actions in the ‘New England Cottontail Conservation Strategy making it an ideal location for habitat restoration. Groton Open Space is working with CT DEEP, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and US Fish and Wildlife Service to identify best practices for management of the site to achieve high quality habitat. A licensed professional forester will develop a forest management plan and contractors will manage and implement the plan. Up to 100 volunteers will remove invasive species and plant native plants. Clean Water Implementation Grants - CT LONG ISLAND SOUND FUTURES FUND PROJECT ABSTRACT Project Title: Using Seaweed (Kelp) to Bioextract Pollution (CT) (#39525) Recipient: University of Connecticut LISFF Grant: $ 88,340.00(EPA) Grantee Matching Funds: $ 51,280.00 Total Project Funds: $ 139,620.00 Project Area: Thimble Islands, Branford, CT. Long Island Sound Futures Fund - 5 The project will determine pollutant the removal capacity of seaweed (kelp) using an expandable anchoring, off-shore grid installation, and provide formation for potential kelp farmers and coastal managers about water quality improvement from bioextraction technology. University of Connecticut will grow Saccahrina latissima (sugar kelp) on one farm system grid using 6 X 50m longlines to determine the capacity of seaweed to extract nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon per hectare as well as to compare these numbers with those from a single line cultivation system.

Now, the LISS will present to the public a list of areas around Long Island Sound that best exemplify those values (attachment). A series of public meetings sponsored by the Study’s Long Island Sound Stewardship Initiative are scheduled between June 13 and June 22 in several Connecticut and New York locations. Public input is being sought on the draft list of inaugural stewardship areas. Each area includes sites of natural habitat important for wildlife or sites that support recreation activities and access to Long Island Sound. Each meeting will feature a local expert who will talk about the values of a specific local site and specific opportunities for improved stewardship. Information on the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act legislation that has been introduced in Congress will also be provided. Based on recommendations of the Long Island Sound Study Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan and the 2003 Long Island Sound Agreement, the Stewardship Initiative is a collaborative effort to identify places with significant ecological or recreational value throughout the Sound and develop a strategy to protect and enhance these special places.
