2016-2017 Annual Report
2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Department continues to find more efficient ways to communicate and con- duct business with our constituents. License purchases, special hunt registrations and park lodge and camping reservations are available through our websites, www.outdooralabama.com and www.alapark.com. In addition, we are communi- cating to more than half a million people through email newsletters and notices. Funds derived from the cap on sales tax discounts were restored to State Parks in FY 2017. These funds have provided much-needed relief in addressing the back- log of park maintenance projects. Park guests totaled just under 5 million this fiscal year. The federal management of red snapper and other reef fish continues to be a highly volatile issue within the fishing community. Our Marine Resources Division is working with federal agencies and Congress to provide more state oversight of this fishery and a longer season for anglers. Snapper Check, which continued for the fourth year, is an important part of this effort. The State Lands Division has administered the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) on behalf of the State of Alabama since its beginning in 2005. During the life of this program, which closed this year, State Lands administered 49 grants for over $58 million funding various coastal project activities supporting Mobile and Baldwin counties. Participation in the state’s Game Check system for the recording and reporting of both deer and turkey harvests became mandatory during the 2016/2017 hunting seasons. -
Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women Pursuant to the Civil Rights Ofinstitutionalized Persons Act ("CRIP A"), 42 U.S.C
U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Office of the Assistant AI/orn ey Genera l Washillgtoll, D.C. 20530 The Honorable Robeli Bentley Govemor JAN 172014 State Capitol 600 Dexter Avenue Montgomery, AL 36130 Re: Investigation of the Julia Tutwiler Plison for Women and Notice of Expanded Investigation Dear Govemor Bentley: The Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division has concluded its investigation of allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment at the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women pursuant to the Civil Rights ofInstitutionalized Persons Act ("CRIP A"), 42 U.S.C. § 1997. CRIP A authorizes the Department of Justice ("001") to seek equitable relief where prison conditions violate the constitutional ri ghts ofprisoners in state cOlTectional facilities. Consistent witl1 the statutory requirements of CRIPA, we write to infonn you of our findings, the facts SUppoliing tl1em, and the minimum remedial steps necessary to address the identified deficiencies. We conclude that the State of Alabama violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution by failing to protect women plisoners at Tutwiler from ham1 due to sexual abuse and harassment from correctional staff. Tutwiler has a history of unabated staff-on-prisoner sexual abuse and harassment. The women at Tutwiler universally fear for their safety. They live in a sexualized envirolunent with repeated and open sexual behavior, including: abusive sexual contact between staff and prisoners; sexualized activity, including a strip show condoned by staff; profane and unprofessional sexualized language and harassment; and deliberate cross-gender viewing of prisoners showering, urinating, and defecating. The inappropriate sexual behavior, including sexual abuse, continues, and is grossly undelTepOlied, due to insufficient staffing and supervision, inadequate policies and procedures, a heightened fear of retaliation, and an inadequate investigative process. -

An Econometric Approach to Applied Microeconomic Theories: the Case of Natural Resource-Based Industries
An Econometric Approach to Applied Microeconomic Theories: The Case of Natural Resource-Based Industries by Hakan Uslu A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Keywords: Economic well-being, Demand, Cost Copyright 2016 by Hakan Uslu Approved by Larry Teeter, Professor, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Conner Bailey, Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology Duha Altindag, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics Yaoqi Zhang, Professor, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Abstract The forest products industry of Alabama has a dominant role in the state’s economy. The industry has experienced a general downturn in production, employment and number of operating establishments since the mid-1990s. In this study, the possible determinants of the decline in the forest products industry of Alabama are discussed. Moreover, economic impact analyses are used to investigate how the contribution of the industry to the economy of Alabama has changed since the mid-1990s. Additionally, econometric analyses are employed to estimate the relationship between the decline in the industry and changes in the factors behind the decline. Furthermore, additional econometric analyses are employed to estimate the relationship between economic well-being and forest sector dependence in the counties of Alabama. Results showed that the forest products industry of Alabama has lost many employees, production, mills, and contribution to the economy of the state between 1996 and 2012. There is statistically significant relationship between increases in cost of production and decreases in demand for the forest products and the downturn in the industry. -
