The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary is working to develop a directory
of past and ongoing scientific
datasets and reports that have local, regional, and national breadth.
The
se will mainly be environmental or ecological in nature, but
socioeconomic studies of relevance to environmental issues
may also be included. These will be cross-referenced over time to the new web-based "Delaware Estuary Information Gateway" (DEIG) that will serve as an information clearinghouse searchable by topic area, institutional association, and geographic area.
Our existing inventory is provided below. Some of these items are directly available as downloadable PDF files, and some are available from partnering entities or as hardcopes upon request. Where possible, we furnish links to information available from our partners. Reports and datasets relating to science and management of natural resources in the Delaware Estuary and its watersheds are organized as follows:
