Abstract
Dr. Jerome Lewis and Dr. J. Thomas Sims welcomed attendees from government, academia, industry, nonprofit organizations, and the general public to the sixth annual Delaware Water Policy Forum addressing the Delaware River and the challenges and opportunities affecting this working and environmental river. The speakers acknowledged the people involved in the event preparation and thanked them for all of their efforts in organizing this event. Both Dr. Lewis and Dr. Sims introduced the theme of the forum, the Delaware River, and they noted the significance of the river in the Mid-Atlantic region. They spoke of the different aspects of the river and noted that the nature of the activities related to the river range from biological, recreational, water supply, marine operations, and industry-resource based, and these issues would be incorporated into the forum discussion. Gerald Kauffman introduced the keynote speaker.
