Dauphin Island Sea Lab: Celebrate National Estuaries Week With DISL

Press release from the Estuarium at Dauphin Island Sea Lab:

September 17, 2021

Estuaries, like Mobile Bay, are where freshwater meets saltwater. Our estuaries are economically and environmentally important for many reasons, not the least of which, they serve as a nursery habitat for many commercially and recreationally important fish and shellfish, such as oysters, shrimp, and red snapper. It is important for us to be good stewards and protect this vital part of our community.
