Delaware officials wander Delmarva’s waterways

Nearly 40 locally elected officials from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia toured the Delmarva Peninsula April 4 and 5, in an informative excursion hosted by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay.

Along with discussions about examining tax ditches in Delaware, saltwater intrusion on Virginia’s Eastern Shore and farmland preservation in Maryland, the alliance brought together the lawmakers for the annual Wandering Delmarva’s Waterways Bus Tour 2024.
