The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) is a nonprofit dedicated to connecting people, science, and nature for a healthy Delaware River and Bay. The Delaware Estuary is the region’s most important cultural, economic, and recreational resource, covering portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, host of the Delaware Estuary Program, leads collaborative, science–based efforts to improve the Delaware River and Bay, which covers portions of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
We envision everyone working together for clean water, thriving fish and wildlife, and accessible recreational activities in and around the Delaware River and Bay to support people, communities, and a robust economy.
PDE’s team of scientists, educators, and planners work throughout the estuary to study changing conditions, reduce pollution, protect wetlands, and more, all while partnering with communities and organizations to strengthen the health and resilience of our shared waters.
Want to help improve the health of the Delaware Estuary? Make a difference by volunteering with PDE through cleanups, shell bagging, or office support.
