For over 15 years, the Delaware River Steamboat Floating Classroom (SPLASH) has delighted school and adult groups with 1.5 hour educational sails on the beautiful Delaware River in Lambertville, NJ. Younger students learn in a “hands-on” way about our watershed and ways to protect it; the importance of “river critters” (macroinvertebrates); the chemistry of the river and the balance needed to sustain life; the environmental history of the Delaware River through the local hero the American Shad. SPLASH stands for: Student Participation in Learning Aquatic Science & History.
