Restoring Gulf of Mexico Fisheries
One Mile at a Time
In the coming years, our finfish and shellfish stocks will need
as much new clean nursery habitat as possible to recover rapidly
from the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
Mobile Bay has been relatively protected from the worst aspects
of the disaster because of the large volume of freshwater
inflows from the Bay's major tributaries.
By building 100 miles of oyster reefs we will create the
conditions needed to plant, support and promote more than 1000
acres of coastal marsh and seagrass.
•Providing habitat for oyster larvae to settle and colonize
•Serving as nursery habitat for commercially and recreationally
important finfish and shellfish (shrimp, blue crab, speckled
trout, red drum, southern flounder, ladyfish and gray snapper)
•Dampening of wave energy and decreasing erosion
•Stabilizing sediments and decreasing turbidity
As recovery continues through the next several decades, this
effort will not put Mobile Bay back to where it was when the
spill started, but Mobile Bay will be ahead by 100 miles of
oyster reef and 1,000-plus acres of marsh and/or seagrass. This
project physically constructs oyster reefs and promotes the
development of marsh and seagrass habitat, primarily through
natural recruitment, but with supplemental planting as well. The
project also includes critical job creation and community
involvement components to support and sustain the vision of a
better coastal Alabama.

CoverAlls
Inc. of Texas has introduced the best line of products that
I have ever see to protect your boat and gear. They are
called BoatSkinz. They protect the boat, engine cowling and
electronics form UV rays, moisture and all of the other
stuff that is harmful to your rig. One of the best parts is
that they are very inexpensive compared to custom made
covers- which don't last very well anyway. See the entire product
