Delaware Estuary

Science & Environmental Summit

 

Since 2005, the goal of the biennial Delaware Estuary Science and Environmental Summit has been to bring together scientists, managers, restoration practitioners, and educators from different sectors to share the latest scientific information, network, and make ecological linkages that promote a better understanding of the watershed.  The format is that of a conventional scientific meeting with abstracts, presentations and Q&A. While the focus is on the watershed of the Delaware River and Bay, presentations are welcome from other areas if they help to inform our understanding of this system.

Save the Date!

The 2027 Delaware Estuary Science and Environmental Summit will be held February 23–24 at the Clayton Conference Center at the University of Delaware.
