The State of Delaware, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) received a $223,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Beach Monitoring and Notification Program Implementation Grants (CFDA 66.472) program. The goal of this one-year grant is to integrate all technical and water quality aspects of Delaware's Recreational Water Program, including planning, implementation, assessment, monitoring, and a public notification system for coastal recreational waters under the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act. Key activities include identifying coastal recreational waters, determining legal authority, developing a comprehensive beach monitoring program, and maintaining an updated public notification system to provide water quality data. The desired outcomes are to minimize adverse health effects from primary contact recreation and improve long-term planning to address the effects of climate change on Delaware's coastal beaches.
