Training
This is the second webinar in UConn CLEAR’s two part series introducing their updated land cover tracking tools. Using data from the Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD), this session explores how land cover across the entire Long Island Sound watershed has changed from 1985 through 2023, covering regions from Connecticut to the Canadian border.
This webinar highlights trends at the watershed, state, town, and local levels, with special attention to the 300 foot riparian zone along waterways, a critical area for stream health and climate resilience. The session will demonstrate how to interpret land cover change data using CLEAR’s map viewer and dashboards to better understand long term environmental patterns.

Story Map
Created by UConn CLEAR in partnership with the Long Island Sound Study, this Population and Demographic Story Map explores the land and people in the Long Island Sound Watershed. From Canada down to the northern coast of Long Island, the watershed is a vastly diverse area in both land and people, populated by nearly 9 million people and characterized by farms, forests, urban centers, beaches, marshes and more. This story map showcases how the Sound is an integral part of the lives of those who live, work, and visit the region every day.
