Inland
Bays Tributary Action Team
Little Assawoman Bay Watershed
Coordinator —
PINE, the Poultry Integrators Nutrient Effort, is a program
developed by the Center for the Inland Bays (CIB) in response
to a “model watershed concept” proposed by Perdue
Farms, Inc., in 2001. The idea for a “model watershed”
was brought to the Center for the Inland Bays by the major poultry
integrators as a project for partnership between the environmental
and agricultural sectors. Both were interested in establishing
a “model watershed” as an example of complete voluntary
compliance by the agricultural sector with the Delaware Nutrient
Management Law. The search for the coordinator is in its final
phase.
