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

Stretching 330 miles from Hancock, NY down to the Delaware Bay, the #DelawareRiver and it's tributaries provide tranquility and recreation to hundreds of communities. In this video, community member Tonya Robinson explains that her neighborhood waterway, the Schuylkill River near Bartram's Garden, brings beauty and stress relief into her life. You can stand up for your neighborhood waterways by telling the EPA to not weaken the Clean Water Rule>> http://bit.ly/cleanwater19
Over the years federal protections for our waterways has increased, which is why community members near Bartram's Garden, like Morris Sampson, can enjoy the Schuylkill River. Once dirty and barren, the river is now teaming with life and has become a neighborhood sanctuary. Tell the EPA: We can't go back in time by weakening Clean Water Rule protections. ADD YOUR NAME TODAY> http://bit.ly/cleanwater19
DYK that the Delaware River is fed by 216 tributaries in 4 different states? Chris Forman of Bartram's Garden explains what connecting to his local tributary, the Schuylkill River, means to him. 💧 You can stand up for all of the Delaware River's tributaries by telling the EPA to not weaken the Clean Water Rule>> http://bit.ly/cleanwater19
Bartram's Garden sits on the Schuylkill River, a major tributary of the Delaware, that was once so dirty and polluted it set on fire. Thanks to the Clean Water Act, the river has become a source of fun and connection for the community. But with threats to portions of the Clean Water Act on the horizon, we must TAKE ACTION and tell the EPA to #ProtectCleanWater>> http://bit.ly/cleanwater19
How will New Jersey manage to update old water infrastructure as well as address the impacts of flooding and climate change? As Assemblywoman Pinkin explains, the state's legislature is taking steps through legislation that tackles stormwater management.
Congressman Brendan Boyle, the Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed, Riverfront North Partnership, Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, and Pennsylvania Environmental Council gathered for a press conference in Lardner’s Point Park on October 24, 2018 to advocate for 2019 federal funding for Delaware River Basin states, including Pennsylvania. The Delaware River Basin Restoration Program (DRBRP) received $5 million for fiscal year 2018 and stakeholders are now encouraging Congress to increase the funding to $6 million for fiscal year 2019. On September 28th, Congress did not vote on the fiscal year 2019 Department of Interior bill, which contains DRBRP funding. Instead, Congress passed a continuing resolution, giving them until December 7th to act. Read more: http://ow.ly/iLNU30mmseo

Last week at #DelRivForum2018, Joy Oakes of National Parks Conservation Association captured this video of a beautiful monarch butterfly basking in the #CapeMay sun. Thanks to monarch tagging, we know that each Fall east coast monarchs travel thousands of miles south to migrate in the Central Mexican Mountains.
We work to achieve this mission by coordinating communications, messages, and actions to foster accountability for success at the federal, state, and local levels.
