It was the eleventh Delaware Wetlands Conference and brought together more than 465 attendees for 54 different presentations, 40 poster displays and 65 exhibitor and sponsor tables.

The agenda included new subjects, such as non-tidal restoration, coastal resiliency, and nature-based solutions. The tradition of the student poster competition continued.
