Thousands of dead fish floating in Jackson County bayous a result of unprecedented winter storm
SUMMARY: Residents of Jackson County are dealing with thousands of dead mullet fish floating in local bayous after a historic winter storm. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) attributes the deaths to the Arctic blast, which killed millions of mullet, a species unable to tolerate extreme cold. The decomposing fish create a strong stench in areas like Davis Bayou near the Gulf Islands National Seashore. While DMR officials say the immediate impact seems limited to mullet, they warn of potential secondary fish kills due to low oxygen levels in the water. The DMR is actively monitoring the situation.

15-minute parking spots added in downtown Gulfport to ease congestion during renovations
SUMMARY: In Gulfport, eight temporary 15-minute parking spots are being added near the Hancock Whitney Bank to reduce congestion during upcoming renovations. The bank building, located across Highway 49, is set to be renovated, though no official start date has been determined. City leaders hope these short-term parking spots will ease traffic by accommodating customers using the bank’s drive-thru, where parking is currently limited, especially at peak times. These spots will remain in place until the renovation work is finished, improving access for customers to enter and exit quickly while construction occurs in downtown Gulfport.
