The ecologically rich Mobile-Tensaw Delta in Alabama, spanning over 400 square miles, is facing threats from development and climate change. This biodiverse region teems with cypress swamps, oxbow lakes, marshland, and unique plant and animal species. Conservationists are working to safeguard this vital ecosystem, which serves as a critical conduit between Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico. Their efforts aim to mitigate the impacts of urbanization, land use changes, and environmental degradation, recognizing the delta's crucial role in maintaining plant and animal diversity and ensuring water and environmental quality in the region.
