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 Western Delta Watershed Management Plan (Cold
