Mobile Tensaw Apalachee Watershed Management Plan

Dataset extent

Abstract

MBNEP’s five-year Ecosystem Restoration and Protection strategy of its Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan prescribes development of watershed management plans (WMPs) for drainage areas, not political jurisdictions, to ensure restoration projects are scientifically defensible and components of an overall management program. The goals of watershed planning are to Improve water quality, improve habitats, protect continued customary uses of biological resources, improve watershed resilience, and expand opportunities for community access.

This report and all associated data and related items of information were prepared by the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, under a cooperative agreement with the State of Alabama, under Award No. GNTCP18AL0066 from the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council). The data, statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect any determinations, views, or policies of the RESTORE Council.

Purpose

The following GIS based data were collected and synthesized to aid development of the Mobile Tensaw Apalachee Watershed Management Plan (Tensaw-Apalachee -HUC 031602040505, Grand Bay- HUC 031602040403, the Basin- HUC 031602040203, Mittlin Lake- HUC 031602040202, Big Chippewa Lake- HUC 031602040106, Farris Creek/Barrow Creek- HUC 031602040103).
