MOBILE BAYKEEPER’S MISSION

Mobile Baykeeper works towards real and measurable improvement in the health of the waters of Coastal Alabama.

We’ll know we are successful when no one has to question whether the fish are safe to eat or the water is safe to swim in, when our seagrasses and oyster reefs recover, and our coastal communities take responsibility for the health of the water.
