Mobile-Tensaw River Delta
Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Protected wetland system in Alabama, United States.
The Mobile-Tensaw River Delta spans 260,000 acres across a 40-mile area, incorporating open waters, swamps, marshes, and bottomland forests.
French settlers established colonial Mobile in 1702, marking the beginning of European settlement in this extensive river delta system.
The Clotilda, the last known slave ship to enter the United States, arrived in the delta in 1860, leading to the formation of Africatown.
Visitors access the delta through Five Rivers Delta Resource Center on US 98 Causeway, offering educational programs and wildlife observation opportunities.
The delta sustains 126 fish species, 46 mammals, 69 reptiles, 30 amphibians, and 300 bird species within its diverse ecological zones.
