SUMMARY: The Mississippi shrimp season is set to open soon, though the exact date could be postponed depending on sampling results. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) requires that anyone transporting shrimp from Mississippi waters be licensed before entering the water. MDMR will continue sampling prior to the season opening to monitor shrimp movement. If sampling indicates a large movement of juvenile brown shrimp into the area, the season start may be delayed. Rain chances are expected this weekend, but shrimp transport regulations and monitoring remain in effect to ensure a responsible harvest.

Shrimpers will be able to drop their nets in state territorial waters at 6 a.m. on Monday, June 23.

SUMMARY: The Hanshaw Road Bridge in Ocean Springs has reopened to traffic after being closed in March by state officials for necessary repairs. Jackson County funded the replacement and repair work. While crews are still reattaching water and sewer lines over the coming days, traffic is now able to move over the bridge again. However, these ongoing utility reconnections mean traffic may be reduced to one lane at times during the final stages of the repair process. The bridge reopening restores an important route for the Ocean Springs community after months of closure.

Over the next few weeks, work crews will install water and sewer lines on the side of the bridge.
