Governor Approves
CCMP |

On behalf of all Alabamians and the
Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Governor Don Siegelman submitted the
Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan to the Honorable Christine
Todd Whitman, Administrator, of the US Environmental Protection Agency on
October 10, 2001. The plan was reviewed and approved by State and
regional agencies. It was determined to be consistent with the Alabama
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Coastal Zone Management
Program. Further, the plan was offered for public comment throughout the
Mobile Bay NEP study area in 13 separate community meetings. The 43,662
square mile Mobile Bay watershed encompasses two-thirds of the state of
Alabama as well as receiving waters from Georgia, Tennessee, and
Mississippi. Implementation of the CCMP should prove to establish a model
for regional environmental cooperation.
