Our mission is to provide citizens a means to protect the beauty, health and heritage of the Mobile Bay watershed, Alabama's waterways and our coastal communities.We have a four tiered strategy: 1) We diligently research to find the solutions to the problems that affect our health and environment. We use those facts to ensure that the Bay and the citizens who live near are protected. 2) We educate citizens so they can get involved in the issues that affect them in and around their homes. 3) We work diligently to find a solution. We form coalitions to bring about a common sense of change that will address the problems that affect our community. 4) We know and use the laws established to protect our health and natural resources. Sometimes this means calling on State or Federal Agencies or sometimes it means holding a polluter accountable.We have a big job -- We have to balance a strong economy with the protection of not only our environment, but our public health and quality of life. Additionally, our work is statewide because the Mobile Bay Watershed covers 2/3rds of the state of Alabama. There are over 200 rivers, bays, bayous, creeks, inlets and sloughs associated with the fourth largest drainage basin in North America. We also cover the Mississippi and Florida Coastal Zones because we believe that there are no barriers to pollution for our coastal residents!
