SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition is fighting against pollution caused by the 2019 Bonnie Cary Spillway openings. Studies show that a Louisiana diversion project could further harm the waters of the Mississippi Sound, causing devastation to marine life and the fishing industry. Officials in Louisiana want to rebuild marshlands with diversion water, but the Coalition believes this will be harmful. They are also concerned about potential negative impacts from opening the spillway more in the future. The Coalition is working to prevent these harmful impacts and protect the Mississippi Sound and surrounding areas from destruction. They are also focused on protecting the Louisiana Fisheries from being destroyed.

The Mississippi Sound Coalition says it is working to prevent harmful impacts to the Mississippi Sound.
