ADCNR Acquires Beachfront Property On Fort Morgan Peninsula

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) recently acquired 79 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the Beach Club Resort on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. This acquisition adds to extensive acreage ADCNR and its partners previously purchased on the peninsula with Deepwater Horizon oil spill funds, including the Gulf Highlands property acquired in 2018. The combined area of the Gulf Highlands and Beach Club West properties includes nearly 200 acres, with more than 0.5 mi. of Gulf frontage beach and dune habitat—previously the largest privately held, undeveloped beachfront property remaining in Coastal Alabama. These properties are now part of the Alabama State Parks System, ensuring their protection, public access and improved habitat management. Both properties were purchased with funds from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, as well as Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act funds managed by ADCNR in collaboration with Gov. Kay Ivey. In total, ADCNR and its partners have acquired more than 1,600 acres on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, using more than $77 million in Deepwater Horizon restoration funding. In addition to the Fort Morgan Peninsula acquisitions, ADCNR has used a myriad of different funding sources to add more than 7,500 acres to the previous 17,000-acre Perdido River Wildlife Management Area along the Alabama/Florida state line.
