The Comprehensive Conservation & Management Plan - CCMP

 

As a National Estuary Program, the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (Partnership) is charged with implementing the goals of its 1996 "Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan" (CCMP). This is a guiding document that includes numerous education, outreach, science, management and policy goals.

Until 2004, the Partnership operated as a non-profit alongside the Delaware Estuary Program (DELEP), a separate entity. The Partnership focused its attention on educating the public about the Estuary and building stewardship for this important natural resource. Meanwhile, DELEP worked to facilitate interstate coordination and enhancement of the overall resource management capacity. In 2004, DELEP and the Partnership merged to form a single organization: the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, a National Estuary Program.

The reorganized Partnership is now charged with addressing the full complement of actions called for in the CCMP. A scanned version of the CCMP is now available for download as a PDF file (23.7 MB).
