The Long Island Sound Blue Plan, a use inventory and guideline for future uses of the LIS document four years in development is now headed to Connecticut's General Assembly for ratification. 

The initiative launched under Governor Malloy has sought public input over the development period.  Bill Gardella of Norwalk Cove Marina and Bruce Beebe of Beebe Marine Construction were the CMTA legislatively appointed representatives who have worked on this process for the last several years.

Most recently, the CMTA Task Force on Blue Plan made up of members of the CMTA Board of Directors, CMTA Environment Committee, staff and members at large put in hours of review and dozens meetings and calls to ensure that the plan aligned with other regulations to avoid negative impact on member facilities.

The changes that were effected by CMTA input include a clearer definition of the policy line, which we have been advised is the map line, development of a User's Guide to assist in understanding the Blue Plan, specific definitions and more.

Information on the Blue Plan may be found here.

We will be providing updates as the legislative process unfolds.
