The protected location and easy accessibility of the Stamford Harbor Lighthouse and the shallow, tidal waters around it make these 10 acres of submerged land ideal grounds for conducting research and programs to protect the environment and educate the public.
Cleanup of the Submerged Land
A dedicated diving crew will venture beneath the surface to clear the approach for safe access, aqua farming initiatives and wildlife habitat. Over the course of a century, debris has accumulated, tarnishing the beauty of the submerged lands. Work will include the removal of sunken boats, debris, plastics, metals, lobster traps, anchors, and tackle to restore the environment’s pristine state.

Success in saving this Historic landmark for generations to come relies on our ability to restore its structural integrity quickly and introduce living shoreline solutions to mitigate rising sea levels and increased storm damage frequency.
Improve Water Quality
Oysters are natural water purifiers and a vital component of the marine ecosystem. The project includes initiatives to re-establish oyster beds, promoting not only a healthier environment but also sustainable aqua farming practices.

The long-term goal is for the restored Stamford Harbor Lighthouse to become an educational and environmental center. Through our partnership with SoundWaters, we will institute education and research programs that benefit the environment and our community.
Mitigate Damage From Climate Change
The effects of climate change are a growing concern for coastal communities. We are dedicated to developing and implementing living shoreline solutions and coastal resilience strategies to safeguard the Stamford Harbor Lighthouse and its surroundings from the impacts of climate change.
