DELMARVA - Monarch butterfly populations have been precipitously falling over the past few decades. It’s estimated that the eastern monarch butterfly population has decreased nearly 90 percent since the 1990s.

Record warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and the development of La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean could produce a hyperactive hurricane season. Delmarva is certainly no stranger to the impacts of tropical systems.
