Roy Denmark, who leads Urban’s Ports and Waterways Division, was recently elected to the Board of Directors of the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary. He will begin the three-year term in January.

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary is a nonprofit organization established in 1996 to take a leadership role in protecting and enhancing the Delaware Estuary, where fresh water from the Delaware River mixes with salt water from the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of 28 Congressionally designated National Estuary Programs throughout the coastal United States working to improve the environmental health of the nation’s estuaries. Its staff works with partners in three states to increase awareness, understanding, and scientific knowledge about the Delaware Estuary, the region’s most important cultural, economic, and recreational resource.

“Roy’s knowledge and experience with ports and waterways will be a great asset to our organization – I look forward to working with him on our Board of Directors,” said Jennifer Adkins, Executive Director of the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
