About the Summit

Since 2005, the goal of this biennial 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 as a whole.  The central format is that of a conventional scientific meeting with abstracts, presentations and peer review 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.

Potential presentation topics include:

  • Water quality & quantity
  • Living resources
  • Wetlands & other vital habitats
  • Physical & chemical processes
  • Ecological linkages
  • Climate change
  • Hot topics
  • Education & outreach
  • Monitoring & assessment
  • Restoration & conservation
  • & more!

Who should attend the summit?

  • Environmental researchers
  • Environmental education and outreach specialists
  • University extension specialists and marine agents
  • State and federal resource managers
  • Environmental consultants and corporations
  • Environmental interest groups
  • Municipal officials
  • Graduate and undergraduate environmental students
  • Concerned citizens
