DRBC Staff Share their Water Resource Management Expertise at the 2017 PDE Science Summit

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) recently held its 7th biennial Delaware Estuary Science and Environmental Summit in Cape May, N.J. Over 200 scientists, environmental professionals, educators, and students attended this three-day summit that focused specifically on the Delaware Estuary, the tidal river and bay. Its theme this year was “Reflecting on Progress, Charting the Future.”

DRBC staff have participated in many of PDE’s past Summits, sharing their expertise and knowledge about the basin’s water resources, and this year was no different. Over the three days, DRBC staff moderated four panels, gave three presentations, and also presented two posters: 

  • Tom Fikslin, Ph.D., Science and Water Quality Management Director, moderated two sessions on Water Quality.

In addition, several other staff participated as attendees and enjoyed learning about and discussing the latest trends and scientific information pertinent to effective management of the Delaware River Basin’s water resources.
