Using the latest and immersive environmental cleanup technology available, the group will be going through the river in order to clean up debris and litter the have been affecting its natural ecosystem.
The initiative will help to keep the surrounding area beautiful and to make sure that the river, along with the Hudson and Chesapeake, will be useable by local residents for many generations to come.
"In many areas, water quality has come back enough and habitat is stable enough that you can rebuild," said Danielle Kreeger, science director at the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
