Protecting Long Island Sound through Education
About us
Protecting Long Island Sound through Education SoundWaters is a recognized and trusted organization locally and in the Long Island Sound region. We have sustained relationships built on shared value and trust for 25 years that includes community, school, business, and political leaders. We have been awarded a 4-star rating, the highest possible, from Charity Navigator based on our financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. We are committed to ensuring that no child or school will be excluded from our programs due to an inability to pay. Knowledge about, and access to, educational enrichment and the benefits of Long Island Sound are far too limited already for so many in our region. The generosity of our supporters enables our work, whether it’s an education sail aboard the Schooner SoundWaters, summer camp scholarships for children or STEM education at our Coastal Education Center. Overall, one third of the students we teach are from low-income communities and receive full or partial scholarship assistance.

Getting muddy in the marsh! Students from Norwalk’s Brien McMahon High School kick off the Stamford Harbor salt marsh study. See what they were up to during their school day. https://lnkd.in/eCfnSx-w

A school day like no other! High school students from Great Oaks Charter School Bridgeport spent a stunning morning aboard the Schooner SoundWaters. The Schooner is spending October at Captains Cove Marina to sail with Bridgeport students at all age levels.

Their futures are bright! The sun was not the only thing shining last Friday. Five young people completed their four months of Harbor Corps training and are headed into the workforce prepared with new skills, knowledge and motivation. The next Harbor Corps team will start their training on October 14. https://lnkd.in/ehhDzC4C

Focus on the smiles😄. On Tuesday, 6th graders from Stamford’s Turn of River Middle School were excited to paddle canoes and explore the coastline in the morning and that afternoon, adult volunteers from Hexcel Corporation were inspired to paddle the very same canoes to remove over 130 pounds trash. No matter your age, joyful learning is powerful!

AXA Investment Managers got it done! Thank you for joining us for a coastal cleanup and picking up 73 pounds of trash that will never reach Long Island Sound.
We were thrilled to organize and participate in a SoundWaters beach clean-up in Stamford, CT yesterday with over 30 of our Stamford-based AXA Investment Managers colleagues and some from AXA XL around the corner. We collected a total of 73 lbs. of trash! Along with our efforts, we donated to the SoundWaters organization which focuses on local clean-up and Long Island Sound environmental education. Thanks to all who came - looking forward to the next one!

Heavy rain brings lots of trash and we had plenty of both. Thank you Crane NXT for getting on the water to clean up Holly Pond. …And yes, that is a trash can that was pulled out from the water.
