SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition seeks more participants to help protect coastal waters and recently hosted a “Save Our Sound” event. They plan to present effective solutions to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), which oversees the Bonnet Carre Spillway. With over half of U.S. states’ wastewater flowing into the Mississippi River, the Coalition emphasizes the need for collective action to prevent flooding in New Orleans and preserve the ecosystem. They argue that management changes are essential, especially after the 2019 spillway opening devastated the oyster industry and caused significant economic damage, totaling over $20 million.

The Mississippi Sound Coalition is looking for more people to join the effort of saving our coastal waters.
