Long Island Sound Resilience Resource Hub

As coastal communities face increasing environmental challenges, they need streamlined access to relevant and vetted information. The Long Island Sound (LIS) Resilience Resource Hub is a user-friendly, information-rich website designed to support coastal communities in New York and Connecticut as they plan for and respond to challenges such as flooding, erosion, and extreme weather. Developed by the long island sound partnership’s Sustainable and Resilient Communities (SRC) Work Group, in partnership with Connecticut Sea Grant and New York Sea Grant, this online hub serves as a one-stop resource for those working to enhance sustainability and resilience in the Long Island Sound region.

How the Resource Hub Supports Resilience

The LIS Resilience Resource Hub was developed in response to stakeholder needs and aligns with the goals of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) by offering tools and guidance to help communities:
