Estuaries are large bodies of water that meet at the mouth of a river or stream. These estuaries are vital to the ecosystems that provide a home and habitat for fish and water life.
Rapid human population growth over several decades has created an abundance of nutrients that have leached into the estuaries through ground and surface waters. The results are dissolved oxygen levels within the water and changes in water quality that essentially destroy productive fish areas and create displeasing waters that adversely affect the valuable tourist industry and property values.
PENNVEST can provide funding to leverage existing funding partnerships that help with the removal and abatement of these nutrients from wastewater treatment and stormwater management programs including changes in water flow within the estuary to increase flushing to complement reduction and removal efforts.
