Delaware’s wetlands work for us by purifying our water, providing habitat for fish and wildlife, and by protecting us from storms and flooding. Check out the Delaware Wetlands web site to learn how DNREC’s various programs and divisions work for wetlands. The site includes information on Delaware’s wetland habitats, the value of wetlands, wetland regulations, restoration and protection, wetland health and loss, educational programs for teachers and children, and how we can all work together to protect these special places! Meanwhile, stategies for stemming the loss of Delaware’s wetlands while keeping them productive and healthy drew the focus of the recent Delaware Wetland Conference. Attendees included more than 175 scientists, conservation organizations and land use planners who met to share resources, information and programs that help preserve and protect wetlands and the valuable services they provide to all Delawareans.
