A competitive research grant program has chosen eight projects that will study the water quality and other aspects of the Long Island Sound.
The program, Long Island Sound Study, is funded by federal and state dollars through a joint effort from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Connecticut Sea Grant and New York Sea Grant.
