Plan Purpose

The Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP) received funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund (GEBF) to develop watershed management plans (WMPs) for several intertidal watersheds along the Alabama coast.

The West Fowl River Watershed was identified as one of the priority watersheds by the MBNEP Project Implementation Committee (PIC), and the MBNEP partnered with the Mobile County Soil and Water Conservation District (MCSWCD) to develop the West Fowl River WMP. The goal of the plan is to provide a roadmap for restoring and conserving the watershed and improving water and habitat quality in areas where resources could have been damaged by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. This WMP charts a conceptual course for improving and protecting the things people value most about living along the Alabama coast
