Projects

to support continued monitoring of sediment accretion and elevation change in the Quinnipiac marshes, and to support a marsh organ experiment to assess whether soil toxicity is contributing to marsh submergence

to support the study of the biodiversity of benthic algal communities and the potential for copper contamination in communities throughout the Quinnipiac River.

to support the study of the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in wild fish within the freshwater regions of the Quinnipiac River watershed.

to support the study of pH variations and the resulting changes in copper's bioavailability and toxicity in the Quinnipiac River.

to support outreach, education and advocacy of the current school lawn pesticide ban and activities associated with the expansion of the ban to include all Connecticut parks, playgrounds, municipal playing fields and town greens, as well as the enhancement of the organization's website.

to support a study to look for evidence of the deleterious effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in killifish within the lower Quinnipiac River.

to support water testing to identify a point source polluter of diethylhexyl phthalate and other plasticizers in the Quinnipiac River.

to support the continuation of investigating the compliance history and indirect discharges of publically owned treatment works on the Quinnipiac River.

To support the measurement of hexavalent chromium concentrations and chemical behavior in stormwater within the Quinnipiac River watershed and in the Quinnipiac River itself with the condition to obtain studies about the Quinnipiac River from the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection.

To support Surveying the Quinnipiac River, a study of bis-2-ethylhexyl phthalate and other plasticizers in an effort to characterize contamination from industrial sources.
