America's Amazon

CityofMobile.com  2026



I enjoyed, during a recent boat tour with Alabama's Ben Raines, what he calls America's Amazon. One of the reasons for this term is that a lot of the plant life in the Mobile Delta was transported here from the Brazilian Amazon region over many decades. Also, the native ecosystem here is in its own way comparable to the Amazon we all know to exist in South America.  The boat tour lasted about 4 hours and took a small party of us through the Lower Mobile-Tensaw Delta. I look forward to sharing more photos, videos and observations from the tour, with a gentle reminder there is a whole lot more to Mobile, Alabama than the concrete jungle off the shores of this diverse, unique ecosystem. - Preston Brady III.
