Connecticut Embayment Study: Summary and Recommendations

摘要

In 1980 the Connecticut General Assembly passed Special Act 80-45. By passing this Act, the Legislature recognized growing public concern regarding the deteriorating environmental conditions of certain coastal coves, ponds and embayments. The Act required the Commissioner of Environmental Protection to study the environmental problems of tidal and coastal embayments, coves and ponds and to identify alternative corrective measures to these problems. The analysis was conducted in two phases: Phase I was an inventory and analysis of the problems while Phase II presented response options.
