Renovations Underway at Delta Port Marina In Coden

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Marine Resources Division recently began renovating the parking and shoreline areas at the Delta Port Marina at 5080 Green Drive in Coden. Work includes enhancing the riprap (rocky material) along the shoreline to improve erosion control, increasing the number of parking spaces and applying new aggregate (gravel) to all parking areas. The marina will remain open during the project, but access to the fishing pier and boat ramp may be limited. Boaters and anglers are encouraged to exercise caution near the construction areas when visiting the marina. The project was funded through the federal Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is supported through excise taxes on the sale of outboard motor fuel and fishing equipment and the sale of state fishing licenses. The improvements are estimated to take approximately four weeks to complete, weather permitting. The division will post updates here.
