Regrettably, far too many waterbodies in New England and New York State contain water that is far from pristine. Fortunately, there are people working hard to correct the problems. Our region is home to many programs that target specific waterbodies and the challenges they face. NEIWPCC has entered into partnerships with a number of these programs as a means of supporting their efforts. While the work may focus on a single area, the lessons learned can be applied in future projects and contribute to our overall understanding of water pollution control.
NEIWPCC's role and relationship with our partners varies, depending on the program. In the Hudson River Estuary Program, NEIWPCC staff work side-by-side with New York State staff as they track migratory fish. Our staff in the Lake Champlain Basin Program conduct education and outreach, water quality monitoring, and scientific research into aquatic nuisance species. We also serve as the program's financial administrators and program advisors. At the Long Island Sound Study, NEIWPCC staff focus on educating the public through newspaper inserts, informational brochures, and public service announcements. We also manage local watershed grants, as is the case with the Narragasett Bay Estuary Program and the New York/New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program.
NEIWPCC is proud to be a partner with these organizations that devote so much time and energy to protecting our waters. For more specific information on each of these partnerships, click on the program listings in the menu on the right.
