No Storm Prevention Equals Pollution

Because the City of Mobile neglected to secure waterfront trash cans and Porta-Potties at Helen Wood Park now the Park's wetlands are polluted with trash and maybe toilet water.

All the portable toilets and all the overflowing trash cans at Helen Wood Park were turned over and washed into the wetlands.

It would have been easier to remove the trash cans before the storm. Apparently the City of Mobile Parks Department has no protocol on what to do in the event of predicted gale force winds at their waterfront parks.

Who is going to remove all the City's trash from the wetlands? I know the City of Mobile certainly does not clean the wetlands it pollutes with its MS4 trash. 

Where might this ditch trash near Dog River Marina have come from? Across the street.

Whoever maintains the trash cans under Dog River Bridge also neglects their overflowing trash cans and they too failed to secure the trash cans prior to the wind storm. This street was underwater due to wind generated high tides. 

Another neglected trash can. The net result for irresponsible trash can maintenance and no storm prevention is the trash pollution of Dog River Wetlands and waterways.
