The Delaware Riverkeeper Network is dedicated to protecting and restoring
the Delaware River, its tributaries and habitats. Operating on the belief
that the best line of defense against damaging resource management is with
informed and active communities backed by strong law and science, DRN empowers
citizens to take more active roles in protecting the streams and creeks
that flow through their neighborhoods while working to secure stronger laws
and regulations to protect them. Every issue, every advocacy effort involves
a partnership between the Delaware Riverkeeper, DRN experts and concerned
communities.
DRN:
- Works proactively
for strong water quality regulations for the mainstem river and tributary
streams;
- Advocates
for strong toxics reduction regulations for the Delaware Estuary, including
challenging opposition from a coalition of companies that discharge
into the River;
- Fights for
a protective zone along the Delaware River and its tributary streams
including in the wild and scenic reaches of the upper Delaware as well
as the lower reaches from Washington Crossing on down;
- Works to
secure strong stormwater management regulations at the State level
as well as for individual development projects;
- Defends against
dangerous operations such as the Army’s proposal
to dump chemical weapons waste into the River and the operation of
power plants that needlessly kill billions of fish a year;
- Challenges
harmful dam, dredging, and stream piping projects on the main stem
as well as tributaries.
We need your help. Join us as an active citizen by writing your legislators
