A Draft Watershed Management Plan for the West Fowl River Watershed has been released. A public comment period will end on May 1, 2019. All comments should be sent to MBNEP's Watershed Protection Coordinator, Christian Miller, cmiller@mobilebaynep.com.

A Watershed Management Plan is an essential first step in preserving water quality in a relatively pristine, tidally-influenced watershed and mitigating the impacts of future development pressures. The watershed planning process utilizes a stakeholder-led process to characterize existing conditions, identify and prioritize problems, define management objectives, and develop and implement protection or remediation strategies as necessary.
