SUMMARY: Marine mammal protection act is filed due to dolphin deaths after massive amounts of Mississippi River water dumped into the sound in 2019. The Bonnet Carre’ spillway is blamed for this, causing damage to coast oysters and other seafood. The Mississippi Sound Coalition is filing legal action against the Army Corps of Engineers to protect the brackish Mississippi Sound and its bottlenose dolphin population. The pollutants in the water have affected the food chain, causing harm to the ecosystem. There is a call for local and state governments to act and protect the waters of the sound.

In the lawsuit, the Coalition states the Corps did not properly acquire a certain permit before opening the Bonnet Carré Spillway.
