John Driscoll, director of the Alabama Port Authority, asked Mobile Baykeeper to drop its threat to sue over the project to deepen and widen the shipping channel.

Dredging and depositing the spoil back into the bay harms Gulf Sturgeon, a giant fish that spends their winters in the bay, Mobile Baykeeper argues. The environmental group, along with the Center for Biological Diversity, notified the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tuesday of their intent to sue over the Corps' alleged failure to protect the sturgeon.
“With this letter, the Port is again inviting Baykeeper and its out-of-state activists to stop pursuing litigation that could delay the most important economic development project in the State of Alabama,” Maggie Oliver, vice president of communications and federal affairs with the Alabama Port Authority, said in an email. “The Port’s message is clear: drop the threat of a lawsuit, and let’s work together to achieve our shared goal of protecting Mobile Bay.”Sen.
