Seagrass loss, dredge dumping, and how you can help protect Mobile Bay’s fishery—all in this week’s episode.

In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, William Strickland of Mobile Baykeeper joins to discuss a pressing environmental issue affecting local waters: the harmful disposal of dredge material from the Mobile Bay ship channel. Strickland explains how this long-standing practice is destroying vital seagrass beds and oyster reefs—critical habitats for species that sustain both recreational and commercial fishing. The conversation covers recent advocacy efforts, including a town hall meeting and the involvement of Senator Elliot, as Mobile Baykeeper works to push for change from the Army Corps of Engineers. Listeners are encouraged to get involved by contacting elected officials and showing up to support legislative action aimed at protecting Alabama’s estuary for generations to come.
