Delaware's first responders, and all first responders throughout the nation, should be recognized as the heroes that they are. Whether it be firefighters, law enforcement personnel, nurses, paramedics or many others, these men and women selflessly risk their safety to protect and take care of others. I believe it is important that we honor these individuals, and is why Representative Ron Gray and I introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 125. SCR 125 will designate October 28, 2022 as National First Responders Day here in Delaware. Thank you for all you do.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control continued to broaden the recreational appeal of Delaware’s renowned artificial reef system by sinking the Texas Star, originally outfitted as a floating casino, at a reef site 16.5 miles offshore of the Delaware coast, with readings of 38.40.494/74.43.868 at a depth of 86 feet. Built in 1977 on a multi-purpose supply ship hull, the Texas Star was last at sea as a commercial scallop catcher/processor vessel, finding its third life at approximately 4:20 p.m. EDT Wednesday, June 29 as ocean floor fish habitat planned by DNREC’s artificial reef program.
