Stop the Fish Slaughter at the Delaware City RefineryThe Delaware City Refinery kills over 45 million Striped Bass, White Perch, Bay Anchovy and Weakfish each year, according to recent counts. Of course, there are other species killed too, but these are the only 4 they count -- and still the figure is an alarming 45 million!

By investing in existing technology used across this country, they could reduce these fish kills by over 90%.

The facility operates under a permit that has been expired for 11 years. All Governor Markell needs to do is enforce the law by issuing an up to date permit that requires the up to date technology.
