What the Council–Alabama join is
Awarding agency 471 and place-of-performance state AL meet here. $247,035,365.78 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. A Council award coded outside Alabama is out. An award in Alabama from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds like Gulf restoration. This packet does not name parishes, bays, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Open Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council in Alabama for the filtered table, Alabama federal spending for the state hub, Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council for the agency book, and All spending ties for other pairs. Those pages are not addends to $247,035,365.78.
Thirty-five restoration vehicles
Dividing $247,035,365.78 by 35 yields about $7,058,153.31. Restoration programs often post few large project awards. 35 is not 35 unique wetlands and not 35 named builders. Do not invent contractor names.
Correlation is not causation: a Council total in Alabama does not prove more damage or more recovery than in Mississippi or Florida. This packet does not rank Gulf states. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair.
Not an acreage or water-quality score
$247,035,365.78 does not measure acres restored, miles of shoreline, or water-quality samples. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums obligations with awarding-agency code 471 and an AL place-of-performance tag. Catalog agency name is the heading, not an environmental outcome. This page does not split the total by Mobile Bay or the Alabama coast.
Place of performance and the obligation label
Place of performance AL is a geography tag on the award. Alabama (AL) excludes Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana. A Biloxi-coded award is Mississippi. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Obligations are not outlays. $247,035,365.78 can include amounts that pay later on multi-year construction. Citing it as cash already spent on Alabama restoration over-reads the field. Keep the obligation label. FEC donations are a different dataset.
