The Delaware River, often called the “Lifeblood of the Northeast,” is one of the region’s most vital waterways. 💧 It supplies drinking water to more than 17 million people and offers countless opportunities for recreation, from fishing and swimming to kayaking.

Wetlands may cover only a small portion of the planet, but they’re carbon storage powerhouses! 🌱 By trapping organic matter beneath water and sediment, wetlands naturally lock away carbon. Plus, they grow fast and stay stable, making them long-term climate heroes! #DelWater #WorldWetlandsDay
