Learn About the Delaware Estuary at Coast Day Event September 15

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, along with several partners, will host its annual Southeastern Pennsylvania Coast Day celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. September 15, at Penn’s Landing on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

Coast Day is a free event open to the public that serves to educate visitors about their environmentally sensitive coastline and celebrate this natural resource and its recreational opportunities.

Visitors can tour the many interactive displays and participate in the hands-on activities at this family-oriented festival. Music, prizes and freshly roasted Delaware Bay oysters will be available free. Participants can also tour the nearby Independence Seaport Museum or take a free shuttle available to the Fairmont Water Works Interpretive Center.

Sponsors for this year’s event include the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Philadelphia Water Department, Pennsylvania Coastal Resources Management Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
