About Lucia

Lucia joined the Society’s staff in May 2019 as Delaware Bayshore Conservation Coordinator and was promoted to Program Director in December 2020. She focuses on empowering citizens to protect the Delaware Bay and its tributaries by reducing stormwater runoff. Much of the work she does is centered around the Cohansey River.
