Mobile Baykeeper supports new legislation by State Sen. Chris Elliott and State Rep. Rhett Marques aimed at regulating U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers projects to protect Alabama's coastal waters. This legislation seeks to prevent the dumping of 90 million cubic yards of dredged sediment into Mobile Bay over the next 20 years, addressing local concerns about its impact on fisheries and tourism.

Additionally, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has introduced new nitrogen oxide standards for gas-fired power plants, although these measures have faced criticism for lacking health benefit assessments.
