The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin made several stops during his three-day tour of Long Island, which included naming the new director of the Long Island Sound Partnership.
Zeldin announced on Thursday, Aug. 27, at a press conference in Port Jefferson that Nicole (Nikki) Tachiki would become the new head of the partnership, a collaboration between the EPA, New York and Connecticut consisting of federal and state agencies, user groups, concerned organizations, and individuals dedicated to restoring and protecting the Sound.
