One of the first efforts of
the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program was to hold a series of public workshops
during June, 1996. There were seven public meetings held community-wide. The goal of the meetings was to increase public awareness
and involvement for developing the Comprehensive Conservation and Management
Plan. In addition, the meetings were to give the community an opportunity to identify
and prioritize environmental issues concerning Mobile Bay. Issue
workgroups were developed to address the identified priority problems. Since that time
technical / science and lay people have met
regularly. The issues originally identified in June 1996 continue to be a
driving focus for the Mobile Bay NEP.
The Comprehensive Conservation
and Management Plan was approved April 22, 2002. These issue workgroups
now have the task of seeing the many actions outlined in the plan come to
reality.
- Water Quality
/ Hydrological Modifications
-
Habitat Management
-
Living Resources
-
Human Uses
-
Education and Public Involvement
- Data Information and
Management Systems
There are ways everyone can
be good stewards in protecting Mobile Bay.
