Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed

Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed The Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed was formed to help protect and restore the Delaware River, its tributaries, and surrounding landscapes.

We work in the 4 watershed states: DE, NJ, NY, and PA. The purpose is plain – a clean Delaware for future generations. To achieve it we need to work together to protect nature, control pollution, and keep our water safe for children, families, and all whose lives and livelihoods depend on clean water. Organizations in Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland make up the community

of the Coalition. Members range in size and reach from local groups on the frontlines of watershed protection to organizations that work on regional, state and national levels. Our common bond is a belief that we all are accountable for a healthy watershed. Membership is free and open to non-governmental organizations committed to seeking improved Delaware River Basin policy and protection. We believe there’s a new future for our watershed, and the work of our members will bring us there. We hope you’ll join us.
