Our Objectives
An appraisal of the area’s natural resources to understand community benefits and economic returns.
Analysis that will identify community assets and natural resources at risk of flooding, sea level rise, and land use change.
Stakeholder-led vision that identifies ecotourism and nature-based investments that will promote the economic and coastal resilience of the area.

Mispillion River & Cedar Creek Watershed Resources
The Mispillion River and Cedar Creek watersheds are home to some of the region’s most vital natural resources and last remaining large tracts of undisturbed land in Delaware. They are located within an internationally recognized flyway for migrating birds and one of the most productive horseshoe crab spawning areas in the world. The area is under pressure from the impacts of changing environmental conditions, which has increased the risk of flooding in Slaughter Beach and Milford.
