Gaillard Island
Gaillard Island is a dredge disposal island located in Mobile Bay approximately 12 miles south of downtown Mobile, Alabama. This site is an important site for colonial nesting shorebirds in coastal Alabama and has been the only nesting site for brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) in Alabama when the birds began nesting in 1983.
