Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MRGO)
Background about the June 2008 de-authorized Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MRGO), a man-made waterway that was originally constructed "to provide an emergency outlet from the Mississippi River ... and to provide a safer and shorter route between the Port of New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico." Find official documents on the de-authorization and environmental impact. Website navigation can be confusing due to some empty menu sections. From the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
