Living Shorelines Workshop helps landowners combat erosion, protect habitat
SUMMARY: The Living Shorelines Workshop in Moss Point helps Mississippi waterfront landowners combat erosion and protect habitats using natural, sustainable methods. Living shorelines stabilize coastal property with native marsh grasses, natural slopes, rocks, or shells. Hosted at the Pascal River Autobond Center, these workshops are part of a series by Mississippi State University Coastal and Marine Extension, supported by the Mississippi Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and Mississippi Sound Estuary Program. Participants receive free shoreline assessments, customized design plans, and permitting assistance. With costs between $50 to $300 per linear foot, living shorelines offer an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional bulkheads and seawalls.
As erosion carves away at Mississippi’s coastal properties and tidal surges creep farther inland, landowners are searching for alternatives to costly seawalls.

SUMMARY: South Mississippi is experiencing continuous thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and frequent lightning, especially around Harrison County. A strong storm triggered a special weather statement but is not classified as severe. Multiple showers and thunderstorm lines are moving through the area, causing occasional power outages and raising concerns about localized flooding. Weather models differ on timing, but scattered storms are expected to continue into Thursday, with a 50-60% chance of rain and a slight flash flooding risk (level two). A cool front will arrive by Saturday, bringing less humidity and cooler temperatures for the weekend before warming again next week.

Migrant vessel recovered from Cat Island possibly came from foreign waters, Coast Guard says
SUMMARY: A migrant vessel constructed from styrofoam, wood, and sheet metal was discovered on Cat Island in South Mississippi. The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed it likely originated from a foreign country, possibly Cuba, due to the undyed diesel fuel onboard—a key indicator since U.S. and Mexican fuel contain dye. The boat, described as ingeniously constructed with a Frankensteined diesel engine, appeared about a year ago. Gulf Stream Marine owner Will Ladnier was asked to remove it before hurricane season to prevent environmental damage from over 85 liters of diesel. The boat’s full history remains unknown as investigations continue.
