PDE works to restore the health of the Delaware River and Bay—an
environment upon which millions of people, wildlife and plants
depend. Used for accessing remote locations in the Delaware Bay,
the research vessel allows PDE to study and support marsh and
freshwater mussel restoration projects across the tidal portion of
the Delaware Estuary.
“The continued health and maintenance of coastal environments is
a key focus of Yamaha Rightwaters,” said Joshua Grier,
Sustainability Program Manager, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit.
“Working with the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Yamaha
Rightwaters supports marine environment research as well as marsh
and freshwater mussel restoration projects, which boost water
filtration and act as ecosystem engineers. We look forward to
participating in the growth of the program.”
PDE’s scientists spend an estimated 60 days a year in the
Delaware Estuary’s waterways and wetlands conducting research on
water quality, impacts of climate change and sea level rise, and
other environmental challenges facing the Delaware River and Bay’s
ecosystems. The vessel can transport up to five people, along with
samples and equipment.
“With this vessel donated by Yamaha Rightwaters, our scientists
can access remote tidal wetlands as well as explore on-the-water
opportunities in the urban areas of the estuary,” said LeeAnn Haaf,
Assistant Director of Estuary Science, Partnership for the Delaware
Estuary. “There’s also significant savings, too. We no longer have
to rent a boat or spend time coordinating those rentals. The impact
of this boat cannot be understated, and the opportunities it will
unlock are substantial.”
May 23, 2024, marked the maiden voyage of research vessel,
“Tkuweyo,” which translates to “waves” in Lenape. Tkuweyo is a
tribute to the first stewards of the Delaware Estuary region and
its waterways.
