Inland Bays Foundation Public Information and Education Team
Tired of hearing confusing stories about how "fragile" our Inland Bays are? Then contact the Foundation and schedule one of our free, professionally trained speakers to come visit your group and give you the real story about the challenges facing our Inland Bays and how those challenges are degrading the "Fragile Beauty" of our watershed and impacting our every day lives. You will also find out what you can do to help. We live here just like you do and urge you to call and let us help you understand what can be done to restore our waters to their once "Pristine" condition you enjoyed as a kid growing up or vacationing here.
If you would like to schedule The Inland Bays Foundation to visit your organization and explain our " Advocacy " role or provide you with further information on the water quality of Delaware's Inland Bays, please contact the Inland Bays Foundation Public Information and Education Team, Team Leader - Doug Parham, at 302-296-7801 or dugster.parham@gmail.com.
