Lee Zeldin is deeply familiar with the environmental issues we face in the Long Island Sound region and has championed the Sound’s health as co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus.
We appreciate Representative Zeldin’s prior support of the funding that is critical for the restoration of Long Island Sound, his role in passing the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act, and his support for the permanent preservation of Plum Island.
We will continue to be vigilant in tracking federal policies that impact our region’s environment. We are always concerned about policies or rollbacks that could harm public health, lands, or air and water quality, or that weaken our ability to respond to mounting threats to our shorelines and communities from increasingly severe storms and flooding.
We look forward to meeting with Representative Zeldin and continuing to work with EPA to improve the health of the Long Island Sound region, as we have for over 50 years.
