Muddying the Waters: Dredging Mobile Bay Highlights Tensions between Environmental and Economic Priorities
Abstract
When picturing a map of the continental United States, it is easy to miss the narrow horseshoe-shaped bay situated just west of the Florida panhandle. This geographical feature, formally known as “Mobile Bay,” is of critical importance to Alabama, the greater Southeast, and beyond, due in tandem to the natural ecosystems and critical trade point. In recent years, the project widening the Mobile Bay Channel has highlighted tensions between environmental and economic interests.
