press release September 24, 2013
WILMINGTON, Del. — The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary is asking residents of the Delaware Valley to \”Toast the Coast\” on Sept. 28 in celebration of the 25th annual National Estuaries Day. The local organization is part of a network of 28 National Estuary Programs working to improve and restore the nation’s most important estuaries, which are vibrant coastal areas where rivers meet the sea.
\”The toast is a way for people all around the country to show their appreciation and support for our rivers and bays, by simply raising a glass,\” said Jennifer Adkins, executive director of the PDE. \”Whether it’s a glass of tap water or some other beverage, if it was made here in the tri-state area, chances are, it depends on clean water from our rivers and streams.\”
