They are detrimental to the entire Alabama ecosystem because they will eat almost any type of plant or animal materials, including agricultural crops, food discarded by humans, carrion, small mammals, birds, turtles, snakes, and amphibians. Humans are considered the only significant threat to the hog population, which is why they are one of the only hunted animals in the state that are not monitored by a season for hunting. 497: 1174: 161:. This large river delta is approximately 45 miles long and averages 8 miles wide, being 16 miles wide at its widest point. It covers approximately 300 square miles. Of its 260,000 acres, 20,000 acres consist of open water, 10,000 acres of marsh, 70,000 acres of swamp; and more than 85,000 acres of bottomland forest. It drains an area of about 44,000 sq miles, which includes 64% of Alabama and small portions of Georgia and Mississippi. 1817: 468:
significant man-made obstructions to the delta. The causeway restricts sediment and water exchange with Mobile Bay resulting in an immensely higher sedimentation rate. The loss of hydrological connectivity between the Delta and Mobile Bay reduced the salinity of the surrounding rivers and bay. Several species of fish, crustaceans, shellfish, and plant communities have been altered as a result of reduced salinity.
302:(approximately 18,000 years ago), when the sea level was much lower and Alabama's coastline was about 60 miles (97 km) south of its present location, the waterways of the delta valley extended much farther than their current-day southern termination at the head of Mobile Bay. As the ice age ended and global temperatures increased, sea levels began to rise again to their present-day level. 40: 471:
