Accession: 91-08-236 ; 236-1991 Organizational History: The Mobile Bay Audubon Society was established in 1969 by Don and Alicia Linzey, who also served as the society’s first officers. The society was founded in response to environmental concerns in the Gulf Coast region, specifically in the Mobile and Baldwin County areas. The society was officially chartered in 1971 by the National Audubon Society. Myrtle "Myrt" Jones became president of the group the same year and remained in that position until 2001. Scope and Contents: Consists of agenda, correspondence, minutes, newsclippings, photographs, reports, slides, and video cassettes compiled by past-president of the Mobile Bay Audubon Society (MBAS). The majority of the collection focuses on environmental issues that MBAS became involved with since its founding. In addition, there is organizational information on MBAS, correspondence from the National Audubon Society, information on other organizations, and personal writings from Jones. Of particular interest in the collection is the material related to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, the Tombigbee-Black Warrior Waterway, the Cochrane Bridge replacement, Save Our Bay, and Myrt Jones’s struggle with National Audubon Society past-president Peter Berhle over the issue of closing regional offices. *Additional environmental material can be found in the State of Alabama v.

  • 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.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    2017-2018 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Little River Falls DeKalb County 2 BILLY POPE BILLY The 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 the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. The Department continues to find new ways to serve the public while making sure we are adhering to our mission of promoting the wise stewardship and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources for current and future generations. Twelve Alabama State Parks were awarded Trip Advisor’s Award of Excellence certificates in Fiscal Year 2018. Seven parks were inducted into the Hall of Fame for five consecutive years of winning Awards of Excellence. These designations are based on unsolicited visitor reviews and show how much the public enjoys what our parks have to offer. In 2018, the Snapper Check Program was certified by NOAA Fisheries as a statis- tically valid method to estimate Alabama red snapper landings. Alabama is using Snapper Check to monitor red snapper landings in near real-time to stay within a state quota issued through a NOAA Fisheries’ Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP). The EFP will continue through 2019. The State Lands Division continued to coordinate administrative and technical aspects of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act. This included participating in NRDA Trustee Council meetings, conducting public meetings, soliciting public input regarding potential restoration ideas, assisting with development of draft resto- ration plans and implementing early restoration projects.

  • Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Report
    ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 BRAD LACKEY 2 The 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 the scal year ending September 30, 2019. The Department continues to nd new ways to serve the public while adhering to our mission of promoting the wise stewardship and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources for current and future generations. In 2019, Gulf State Park was named Attraction of the Year by the Alabama Tourism Department. This distinction was due in part to the grand opening of the park’s new lodge, the rst at the park since Hurricane Ivan destroyed the previous lodge in 2004. Gulf State Park’s Eagle Cottages were also included in National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World Program. The cottages are one of seven locations in the U.S. to be included in the program with only 55 lodges in the program worldwide. We can now offer world-class destinations within one of the most beautiful state parks along the Gulf Coast. The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division’s Adult Mentored Hunting Program continued to be a successful tool for recruiting hunters, bringing in 88 new hunters to participate in 13 adult mentored hunting events. Programs like this build on our already-established youth hunting programs with a goal of creating more hunters who will purchase the licenses that provide so much of the Department’s revenue. The 2019 red snapper shing season was managed under an Exempted Fishing Permit issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
