On this beautiful April day, the governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey, and other state and local civil servants gathered to celebrate the end of the flash point project. I can still see her smiling faces and this good feeling was not laid. The project also planned to reduce storm damage and at the same time increase the habitat for fish and wild animals.

• For the coastal economy: Natural -based solutions such as the construction oyster reefs and the repair of salt sumps will maintain the attractiveness of the coast for tourism and maintain the commercial seafood and the sports fishing industry.
• For safety: Preserved swamps, reefs and coastal forests alleviate the effects of storm surge and floods.
• For fish and wild animals: Restoration projects offer habitat for the rich variety of local types and opportunities for people to observe and enjoy them.
• For culture: The resilience projects on the coast keep the rich historical relationship between the residents of the golf coast on land, water and lifestyle.

While the spill was a human and ecological tragedy, its consequences have shown that a remarkable preservation progress is possible when people and their governments work together for a common goal – in this case the rescue of their valued golf and their advantages for humans and nature during this time more intense storms, aspiring lake and heavy rainfall.

This progress is worth celebrating.
