DEMAND AN END TO FEDERAL MUD DUMPING IN MOBILE BAY›

Mud Dumping Town Hall

We heard from hundreds of concerned citizens who are deeply connected to our bay at our Town Hall on August 13th.⁠
⁠
“Please don’t open-water disperse in the Bay. Please don’t cover up what few oysters we’ve got left.” – Avery Bates, generational oysterman with Organized Seafood Association of Alabama⁠
⁠
Join Avery and others by writing your representative and demanding an end to Federal mud dumping in our bay.
