Projects

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 educational programming, installing educational signs, organizing volunteer events and beginning research into potential acquisition of land surrounding the Quinnipiac Meadows/Eugene B. Fargeorge Nature Preserve.

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 a study to look for evidence of the deleterious effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in killifish within the lower 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 monitoring of sediment accretion, elevation change, and sea level rise in the Quinnipiac marshes.

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.

To support a continuing study about assessing the extent and characteristics of macroalgal blooms in New Haven Harbor and the impacts such blooms have on benthic communities.
