Public: Weeks Bay management plan

The Mobile Bay (Ala.) National Estuary Program (MBNEP) is seeking public input to help finalize its draft Weeks Bay Watershed Management Plan. Public comment continues through 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31. MBNEP has contracted with Thompson Engineering to oversee development of the plan, and identify projects to be considered for funding to improve the quality of the watershed in the face of increased population and business growth in Baldwin County, Ala. The watershed is about 12 miles wide and 27 miles long. Its headwaters begin in the Golden Triangle area north of I-10 and conclude where Weeks Bay empties into Mobile Bay. It includes the planning jurisdictions of nine municipalities and is home to countless subdivisions and businesses. (Source: MBNEP 08/02/17)
