Datasets & Reports: By the Other Groups

 

Reports and datasets relating to science and management of natural resources in the Delaware Estuary and its watersheds are organized as follows:

1. PDE Reports. A table of only reports that we have produced, including older Delaware Estuary Program (DELEP) reports. For some of other presentations, click here.

2. Non-PDE Reports. See below - a table of reports and datasets contributed by groups other than the Partnership.

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary welcomes submissions of scientific and technical reports by other environmental and resource-management entities in the Delaware Estuary and watershed. National and international reports may also be included when they have a direct bearing on our Estuary. All reports must be publicly available and include appropriate source referencing.

Please e-mail any contributions to Danielle Kreeger in the form of electronic copies that we can upload, hyperlinks to reports on the internet, or bibliographies of science and technical reports that are available only through other entities.

Please also use the following guidelines where appropriate:

• Indicate what form your contribution is in, whether it be a report or dataset. Also, note in parentheses what electronic format is being used. For example: "Report (Word document, PDF)." Please include citation information for the source or contributing entity.

• Provide a title of 150 characters or less that summarizes the contribution. For example: "Temporal and spatial variation in dissolved oxygen concentrations in the Delaware Estuary between Wilmington and Philadelphia, 1965-1985."

• If desired, describe the contents with your suggested citation formatting instructions, and/or a brief abstract or executive summary of 300 characters or less, as well as any key messages associated with the contribution.

• For contributions of links to reports, please provide accessibility information for the contribution, such as the physical or virtual location, and indicate whether there are any restrictions regarding accessibility.

• List contact information for you and/or any appropriate institutional contacts.
