As the leader of a national alliance, we are a powerful force for coastal habitat restoration in the nation’s capital. We provide a unified voice for coastal conservation in Washington D.C. and advance the science and practice of habitat restoration through on-the-ground projects, groundbreaking science, high-level meetings, and our biennial National Coastal and Estuarine Summit.

Not only is Secretary McIlwain a renowned figure in environmental advocacy, her experience at the forefront of environmental policy provides a rich context for an in-depth discussion on the experiences and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the environmental movement.

    The 2024 Environmental Justice Needs Assessment Report is now available on our website! Throughout 2023, LISS's New York Outreach Coordinator, Jimena Beatriz Perez-Viscasillas, led a dedicated project team with partners from Responsive Management, CT DEEP, Connecticut Sea Grant, New York Sea Grant, and Restore America's Estuaries. Together, they built lasting relationships with community leaders and engaged in vital dialogues with community members. In partnership with local nonprofits such as Save the Sound and Environment Leaders of Color in Mount Vernon, Save the Sound and La Junta for Progressive Action in Fairhaven, and Dare to Dream Community Outreach in Medford, the team held meetings that fostered trust and familiarity. These discussions provided valuable insights into public access barriers and the challenges of reimbursement-based project funding. LISS has already begun implementing some of the feedback received from community members. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eiVS7deg #EnvironmentalJustice #Community #LISound
