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

to support the study of phthalate and organotin plasticizers in an effort to characterize contamination from industrial and municipal sources in the Quinnipiac River and New Haven tidal basin.

to support the Be the Solution to Pollution project which raises awareness of how pollution threatens the health of humans, animals, and the environment along the Quinnipiac River.

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

to support measurements of sediment accretion, elevation change, water level, salinity, and belowground production in the Quinnipiac marshes.

to support An Urban Wildlife Refuge in Fair Haven: Community-based land stewardship to benefit wildlife and waterways project in partnership with Audubon Connecticut, community greenspace groups and the local business community.

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 installing and improving public access to the Quinnipiac River in conjunction with Phase III of the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail Project in collaboration with the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail Advisory Committee.

to support increasing capacity of the organization, sponsoring public events to focus attention on the lower Quinnipiac and urban rivers of Greater New Haven, and implementing certain recommendations from the Urban River Permits Project to reduce polluted runoff.
