2002 State of the Estuary Report - The Delaware Estuary: Join in its Rediscovery

The Delaware Estuary is the portion of the Delaware River that mixes with salt water from the Atlantic Ocean and is affected by high and low tides. It is located in parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. It is one of the busiest ecosystems in the country, being used for drinking water, industry, recreation and more. This report by the Delaware Estuary Program (http://www.delep.org/) and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (http://www.greenworks.tv/delawareestuary/index.htm) highlights current research on the estuary. It covers topics such as the estuary's water quality and its effect on the human population; the status of the fish and wildlife population; rediscovering the estuary region watersheds and steps the public can take to help keep the Delaware Estuary clean and healthy.Edited by Joe Matassino, et al.; Designed and illustrated by Frank McShane; Map artwork by Joel Dubin.
