About the Center for Inland Bays
Based in Rehoboth Beach, the CIB was established in 1994 by an act of
the Delaware General Assembly to protect and enhance Sussex Countys
coastal bays, which are the center of a $1 billion tourism economy. In
1988 Congress designated the inlands bays as an estuary of national
significance, as one of just 28 National Estuary Programs in the U.S.
authorized by the EPA under the Federal Clean Water Act.
