南提科克河是北美中大西洋沿岸无与伦比的生态和文化资源，是切萨皮克湾流域最原始的河流. The River runs from what is today central Delaware, through the Eastern Shore of 马里兰 and into the Chesapeake Bay. It was named after the Native American Indian tribe that originally settled the River. 流域的文化和历史遗产还包括丰富的生物多样性，为数百种全球稀有物种提供了栖息地, 威胁, and endangered species of plants and animals. 该流域的生态完整性已被国际公认为拉姆萨尔国际重要湿地, 全球重要鸟类区(IBA), 以及几个具有生态意义的北美地区，包括迁徙水禽的栖息地.
Despite the recognized cultural and ecological significance of the Nanticoke River, 发展的侵蚀, 海平面上升, 栖息地的退化, and fragmentation continue to threaten the river. In an effort to preserve these resources, 十大赌博正规老平台协会召集了包括非政府组织、州和联邦机构在内的合作伙伴，创建了一条受保护的土地走廊，该走廊将保留现有资源的价值，并实现到2050年保护切萨皮克湾流域50%的长期目标. 南提科克河流域被誉为景观保护的全球典范，33%的流域受到保护，不受开发.
十大赌博正规老平台 has served as a leader in the Nanticoke watershed, forging innovative private-public partnerships that to date have secured more than $3,393,从Mt. Cuba Foundation that have been matched with 状态 and federal dollars to protect over 3,485 acres of land within this watershed. 除了成为景观保护的典范之外，它还使我们更接近于到2050年保护50%的土地, 这些项目为缺乏这些资源的社区创造了急需的公共通道和兼容的娱乐机会. Not only does this help bolster local economies through tourism and recreation opportunities, 它也激励我们下一代的自然资源保护主义者保护存在于他们后院的自然和文化资源.
Nanticoke已经建立了一个由看似不可能的合作伙伴组成的网络，他们都有一个共同的使命，那就是保护整个流域的开放空间和资源. 美国.S. 帕塔克森特海军航空站的海军参与了南焦保护，以支持他们确保整个大西洋测试靶场的军事准备. 美国.S. 内政部帮助保护了黑水国家野生动物保护区的野生动物栖息地以及与之相关的其他自然资源. 美国.S. Department of Agriculture maintains a legacy of working lands through conservation and agricultural easements. 其他州机构包括马里兰州自然资源部和特拉华州自然资源和环境控制部. 此外，不同范围和规模的非政府组织都在流域投入了大量的资源和精力, recognizing the importance of conserving one of the regions last great treasures. 到目前为止, a network of protected lands in excess of 19,300 acres exists in the Nanticoke watershed today and partners continue to build on this impressive legacy of work.
