Mississippi Sound Coalition blames Army Corps of Engineers for harming dolphins on Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition filed a lawsuit against the US Army Corps of Engineers to protect dolphins affected by the opening of the Bonnet Carré Spillway, asserting violations of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The spillway’s openings in 2011 and 2019, a response to Mississippi River flooding, released large amounts of fresh water, reducing salinity in the Mississippi Sound and harming bottlenose dolphins. This resulted in skin lesions, abnormal blood chemistry, infections, and dolphin deaths. The Coalition seeks judicial action to compel the Corps to comply with environmental protection laws and prevent further harm to the dolphins.
