Bonner secures funds for Dauphin Island | Fox10tv.com: "With the integrity of Dauphin Island under threat from increasingly intense coastal storms, U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner, R-AL, has secured $1.5 million to study the feasibility of stabilizing the island so that it can continue to serve as a hurricane buffer.

'Dauphin Island's role in shielding coastal areas from the brunt of storms is one that we can no longer afford to take for granted,' Congressman Bonner said. 'It is coastal Alabama's barrier island from hurricanes, and as such, it has sustained significant damage from recent storms, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005.'"
