The Estuarium plays a key role in improving marine literacy, through increased public knowledge of marine processes. Our docents provided some 3,500 hours of service in support of the Estuarium’s efforts. An additional, 58,800 individuals viewed our new website. I am betting this number will double, as the new website is now averaging over 11,000 new monthly visitors each month!! It should be noted that none of these successes would have been possible without the important contributions of our highly professional and committed support staff. They regularly do so much for the campus that it is simply astounding. No one works harder for the good of our programs than the folks in data management, information technology, scheduling and administrative assistance, facilities and maintenance, technical support, Dr. John Valentine, DISL Executive Director finances, cafeteria, and custodial services.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    TEXT FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) Board of Directors and our contracted staff, we thank everyone who, for the past twenty-five years, shared their time and resources with DRCR. Celebrating a quarter-century of promoting, protecting and improving the water quality of and access to Dog River and its urban tributary creeks was a significant milestone in the organization’s history. Most notable in our 2019 anniversary year was the award of a $328K EPA/Gulf of Mexico Program grant for implantation of the Comprehensive Trash Abatement Program for the Dog River Watershed. Identified as a priority project in the Dog River Watershed Management Plan (WMP) released in 2018, the problem of litter in our waterways brought us together in partnership with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Mobile Baykeeper and Partners for Environmental Progress in a plan to reduce litter in the river by fifty percent by the end of 2021. We’d also like to thank the City of Mobile, Council and Administration, for supporting the goals of the WMP and our EPA grant. Further, this project allowed DRCR to expand our part-time paid team to two with the addition of an assistant project director. As we enter 2020, we look forward to an exciting year. We’ll hosts more cleanups and other fun events like the spring Mudbottom Music Festival and the Great Drift Paddle along the Dog River Scenic Blueway, celebrating its tenth year. The fall will see another of our popular events celebrating its 10th anniversary – the Dog River Fishing Tournament and of course don’t miss the one time a year opportunity to run/walk across the iconic Dog River Bridge during our annual Ghost Chase 5K & 1-mile Goblin Gallop.

Given new utilities that allow investigators to remotely access a variety of web-served model output, it is now possible to examine these models without needing to bother the modeling teams that generate the output. These are powerful new tools that can be leveraged. Because of the activity associated with this NEC-funded grant, I was invited to sit on a advisory panel that evaluates UMASSS Dartmouth©s FVCOM model operations: the Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System. Much of the work that has been done and the tools that have been develop in this grant therefore have addressed the FVCOM model in particular. However, there are multiple models that simulate our coastal waters and these tools have been applied to these other models as well. The validation of models has progressed along a few fronts associated with different data products.

Hutchisson Jr. Accession: 10-09-267 ; 267-1993 Biographical Note: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., the last of the locally celebrated Hutchisson architects, was born in 1902 in Mobile, Alabama. From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L. Hutchisson Sr. Between 1940 and 1945, Hutchisson trained as an engineer and would serve as chief architect for the Mobile Corps of Engineers. During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area. Like his mother, Henrietta Homer Hutchisson, he was interested in the genealogy of the Homer family and he and his mother gathered information about several of his bloodlines. Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents.
