Here are the top three stories in Mobile today:

1. Over the weekend, dozens of fishers spotted hundreds of dead fish floating in Mobile Bay, with many more residents seeing the issue in a video shared on social media. Various organizations, including the Department of Natural Resources and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, are looking into the cause of the fish kill. Officials report they have ruled out commercial fishing and note it may not be an indicator of a larger problem; however, they encourage citizens to report any pollution issues at www.mobilebaykeeper.org/report or by emailing patrol@mobilebaykeeper.org. (WKRG News 5)
2. Impact100, a nonprofit comprised of women who want to make a difference in their community, is launching a chapter in Mobile. The organization is hosting its Mobile Chapter Launch Party today (Mar. 23) from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Container Yard. Membership with Impact100 is open to "all women who embrace the same goals [...of the] collaboration and empowerment of diverse women to lead transformational change." (Fox 10 News)
