There will be a new Aquatic Resources Education Center to replace an older facility at the edge of the Delaware Bay Marsh.
The announcement was made yesterday by Governor John Carney during a ceremony where he was joined by Senator Chris Coons and Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester.
The governor praised the state’s Bayshore Region as a unique destination for ecotourism and outdoor recreation.
WBOC reports that the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said that the initiative would enhance the areas conservation while promising low-impact recreation.
The initiative was launched in 2015 with the Delaware Bayshore Byway that runs along Route 9 in New Castle County.
