Description:The U. S. Corps of Engineers has initiated a comprehensive regional study of Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound to determine whether the present and proposed dredge material disposal methods for maintenance and construction of channels and other Corps projects should be modified in the interest of economic efficiency and environmental quality. The first stage in the development of this plan is the identificationof water resource problems within the study area. To accomplish the problem identification phase and to involve the public at the earliest possible stage, a series of workshops for leaders from various interest groups with a particular knowledge and concern about Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound was held. These leaders were divided into seven different groups based on their primary area of interest. The groups were: (1) marine transportation, (2) recreation interest, (3) seafood industry, (4) state and federal agencies, (5) academic/research interest, (6) environmental/civic groups, and (7) elected officials. The role of the Alabama Sea Grant Advisory Service was to identify leaders and to coordinate and conduct these workshops.
