Since its founding in 2022, the Long Island Sound River Restoration Network (RRN), which includes Save the Sound and seven partner organizations, has been working to accelerate stream barrier removal and improve aquatic ecosystem health across the Long Island Sound region.

We’re excited to share that nearly $1 million in funding from the Long Island Sound Partnership will help take this work to the next level.
The funding will advance nine new potential barrier removal projects (e.g. dam removals, culvert replacements), support regional efforts to map and assess stream barriers, engage private and municipal property owners, and provide expanded Stream Smart trainings for project managers and partners across the region.

“This is a huge step forward for the RRN,” said Anthony Allen, Save the Sound’s director of strategy and innovation.

We look forward to continuing this work alongside our fellow RRN member organizations: American Rivers, The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut, Trout Unlimited, Housatonic Valley Association, Seatuck Environmental Association, Farmington River Watershed Association, and Connecticut River Conservancy, as well as our cross-sector collaborators including: Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP),Connecticut Department of Transportation, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and New York State Department of Transportation.

Together, we’re advancing stream barrier removal for healthier rivers, restored ecosystems, and more resilient communities.
