BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 190: The Battle for Mobile Bay
Manage episode 443034768 series 1510715
Blaring headlines: “Battle lines hardening in dispute over Mobile ship channel deepening project”
“No more federal mud dumping' — Standing room only at Baykeeper town hall”
A newly deepened and widened shipping channel created by the US Army Corps of Engineers makes Mobile, Alabama, the second fastest growing port in the US – the amount of cargo handled this year more than doubled from previous years.
Some of the world’s healthiest commercial and recreational fisheries, vibrant towns, waterfront properties that date back centuries, all because of the health of one of the most beautiful and historically and ecologically-important bays in the world.
90 million cubic yards of mud, dredged and disposed of over the next 20 years. Already the impacts on seagrass and reefs and fisheries are severe.
Join us to find out what’s going on, from the locals with everything at stake: William Strickland, Mobile Baykeeper, and fishing guides Capt. Patric Garmeson, and Capt. Richard Rutland.
