This page is available An Kreyòl Ayisyen and En Español via Google Translate (An external resource that is outside of DNREC’s control). At DNREC, environmental justice seeks equity for minority and low-income communities that may be disproportionately exposed – and vulnerable – to adverse environmental impacts. Simply put, practicing environmental justice ensures that everyone has an equal seat at the table where decisions are made. The Environmental Justice Office works to ensure that all DNREC decisions are executed to promote the meaningful involvement and fair treatment of all people. DNREC staff want to work with local communities to find the best ways to serve them. We’re listening and you can help.
