Most of this was tailings dumped from dredging the channel over the years. It is part of DE because the traditional colonial era mandated border gives the entire Delaware River from Liston Point all the way to where the infamous DE "arc" meets the river to the state of DE. The border,therefore, is the water. So, if you are on a beach on the Jersey side and wade into the water, you are in DE. Since land was "created" here and in other places near the Salem Nuclear Power plant over the years, they are technically a part of Delaware. This area was a wildlife refuge until 1998 when its status as a national wildlife refuge was revoked. It currently serves it original purpose, as a dumping ground for Delaware River dredge waste.
