The Mississippi River–Gulf Outlet Canal (abbreviated as MRGO or MR-GO) is a 76 mi (122 km) channel constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers at the direction of Congress in the mid-20th century that provided a shorter route between the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans' inner harbor Industrial Canal via the Intracoastal Waterway. In 2005, the MRGO channeled Hurricane Katrina's storm surge into the heart of Greater New Orleans, contributing significantly to the subsequent multiple engineering failures experienced by the region's hurricane protection network. In the aftermath the channel was closed. A permanent storm surge barrier was constructed in the MRGO in 2009, and the channel has been closed to maritime shipping.

(en) Het Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal (ook wel MRGO of Mr. Go) is een kanaal in het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten. Het kanaal is in het midden van de twintigste eeuw aangelegd door de United States Army Corps of Engineers om een kortere route te maken tussen de Golf van Mexico en het in New Orleans via de Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. In 2005 werd een stormvloed, als gevolg van orkaan Katrina via het MRGO naar New Orleans geleid, wat bijdroeg aan het rampzalige bezwijken van de dijken rond de stad. (nl)
