Hurricane Katrina (MS and AL General)

Removal of damaged vessels from Mississippi and Alabama requires the efforts of more 
people than just the contractors who can yank the vessel out of the water.  In this 
photo, representatives from the Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers, Department of the 
Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Alabama, Navy Superintendent of Salvage, 
and NOAA meet at the entrance of Bayou La Batre in Alabama.  Their mission is to 
coordinate the process of removing damaged vessels while also minimizing damage to the 
wetlands.
