The project’s funding comes entirely from grants from the National Fish and Wilflife Foundation, Emergency Coastal Resilience Fund and the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, which the county commission approved in May 2021. According to the release, Carter Contracting Services, Inc. will lead the project after a “low bid of $26,685,698.” “We’re delighted to see work begin on what is the largest and most significant investment in an Alabama coastal restoration project,” District 3 Commissioner Randall Dueitt said. “This is a fitting use of oil spill dollars because restoring the shoreline to historic proportions using modern engineering techniques will protect an important roadway and important habitats.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dauphin Island Causeway Shoreline Restoration: Phase 1 project consists of the first phase of a living shoreline to provide habitat restoration and shoreline protection along the Mobile Bay Shoreline adjacent to Dauphin Island Causeway.
