Alliance for Comprehensive Ecosystem Solutions (PDE Alliance)

 

This map shows approximate locations of the 2012 Alliance Projects. Projects occur in all three states of the Delaware Estuary.

The PDE Alliance is a collaboration of public and private entities with diverse interests, and one important thing in common: protecting and enhancing the Delaware Estuary. It includes agency leadership and members from the private sector. Each year, the PDE Alliance identified a select list of projects to support and promote, based on expert review of projects from the PDE Project Registry. 2010 was a pilot year for the PDE Alliance, but that didn’t stop the group from selecting an ambitious set of projects, together in need of over $2 million. Each of these projects addresses one or more of the PDE Alliance’s priorities: tidal wetlands, urban waterfronts, forested riparian and headwaters areas, and shellfish or other signature species of the Delaware Estuary.
