Stewardship Strategy

The Stewardship Strategy seeks to leverage the potential strength of the network of 33 Stewardship Areas in the Long Island Sound coast that were identified in the 2000s as having outstanding or exemplary scientific, educational, or biological value for protection, management or acquisition. The development of the Stewardship Strategy lays the foundation for building this network by summarizing the site-specific challenges, needs, and priorities at each of the Stewardship Areas, identifying approaches to enhance the collaboration and communication among the managers and partners, and establishing a framework for action to support key priorities and address existing challenges and needs.
