The Long Island Sound Public Perception Study was developed and conducted for Connecticut Sea Grant and the Long Island Sound Partnership to assess residents’ perceptions, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to the Sound and its watershed in 2024-2025. This consisted of a representative survey of 3,709 residents of Connecticut and the portions of New York State within the Long Island Sound watershed, conducted between June and August 2024, and four focus groups held in October 2024 and January 2025. This workshop will focus on the results of the survey and how to best use those results in environmental programming.
