Alabama Coast Gets $10M Boost | Mobile News

Governor Kay Ivey just dropped another $10 million for coastal Alabama — this time from federal oil and gas lease money under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act. Twenty-one projects are getting funded, from wetland restoration near Africatown to upgraded boat ramps in Satsuma and Prichard, plus outdoor education hubs. Major recipients include Brookley by the Bay, Mobile County Port, and Mobile Baykeeper. This is part of a bigger push to strengthen Alabama’s coastal economy and infrastructure, following up on a previous $10 million award from the U.S. Department of the Interior. Managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources with governor’s office input, these funds aim to reinvest in communities and secure long-term benefits for future generations.
