Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Reauthorization Act of 2025
This bill reauthorizes existing federal grant programs focused on restoring and stewarding the Long Island Sound through 2029. It extends the funding period for two key programs: the Long Island Sound Grants (under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act) and the Long Island Sound Stewardship Grants (under the 2006 Stewardship Act), changing their authorization from 2019-2023 to 2025-2029. These grants directly support states (Connecticut and New York), local governments, and non-profits working on water quality, habitat restoration, and public education projects in the Sound. The bill makes no new policy changes but continues current funding mechanisms for these established environmental programs.
