What: The Delaware Estuary Science & Environmental Summit Summit 2025, organized by the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.

When & Where: February 11-12, 2025. Chase Center on the Riverfront, Wilmington, Delaware

Who: Zach Nemec, PA Sea Grant Coastal Outreach Specialist for the Delaware River Basin will be presenting, “Living Shoreline Feasibility in Delaware County, Pennsylvania,” on Tuesday, February 11th at 11:45 am.

About the Presentation: To better educate and engage coastal municipalities about living shorelines, Zach evaluated their feasibility at three public sites in Delaware County using the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary’s Living Shoreline Feasibility Model (LSFM). During August 2024, he recorded the physical characteristics, ecological conditions, site access, and community resources metrics for each site and entered the data into the LSFM.  All sites showed low to moderate implementation complexity based on various community resources scenarios, low design complexity. and low to moderate feasibility. More community input is needed to better understand the implementation complexity.

About the Summit: Since 2005, the goal of this biennial Summit has been to bring together scientists, managers, restoration practitioners, and educators from different sectors to share the latest scientific information, network, and make ecological linkages that promote a better understanding of the watershed as a whole. The central format is that of a conventional scientific meeting with abstracts, presentations and peer review Q&A. While the focus is on the watershed of the Delaware River and Bay, presentations from other areas are included, as they can help to inform our understanding of this dynamic estuary system.
