Celebrate 30 Years With Us — Give $30 for 30!

March marks the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary’s 30th anniversary, our Pearl Anniversary. This milestone reflects three decades of protecting and restoring the tidal Delaware River and Bay. To honor this important year, we’re inviting our community to join our “$30 for 30 Years” campaign.

A gift of $30 (one time, monthly, or more) helps fuel the next chapter in PDE’s history of supporting clean water, thriving habitats, and resilient communities, serving to protect our estuary for the people and businesses who depend on it.

How Your Gift Makes a Difference:

$30 one time helps provide essential supplies for field work, education programs, and more
$30 a month sustains year‑round work restoring habitats, supporting community resilience programs, and ensuring long‑term environmental stewardship.
A gift of $300, $3,000, or more accelerates large‑scale coordination and restoration efforts that protect the estuary for drinking water, commerce, and future generations.

Your generosity keeps this work going. Thank you for being part of our story—and our future.

Give today for a chance to receive our Pearl Anniversary keepsake!

Every donor to PDE in 2026 will be automatically entered to win a one‑of‑a‑kind natural pearl, still attached to its shell. This beauty (pictured below) was discovered by a volunteer during one of our shell bagging events and is a perfect tribute to our Pearl Anniversary. One winner will be selected at the end of 2026 to receive this rare, natural pearl. It may not have any significant monetary value, but we think it’s priceless.
