The year 2008 commemorates the 40th anniversary of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. This law made possible the Upper and Middle Delaware's Wild and Scenic designation, which is marking its 30th anniversary this year, as well as the action taken in 2000 to add key segments of the Lower Delaware to the national system. In all, three-quarters of the non-tidal Delaware River along with portions of several tributaries to the main stem river and bay are currently included in the System. The theme of the 2008 Delaware River Sojourn is Conserving Our Wild and Scenic River.  It is important not only to mark the anniversary of the Act, but also the inherent fact that as the decades pass, the River still, and should always, remain "for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations".
