U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says Bonnet-Carré Spillway caused “minor” impact. Mississippi Sound
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition rebutted the US Army Corps of Engineers' claim that the Bonnie Carrie Spillway had only minor impacts on the Mississippi Sound. Research from Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi showed extensive damage to oysters and marine life in the sound, with oyster reefs unable to grow without human intervention in the last five years. The Coalition is calling for the Corps to take responsibility and prevent the spillway from opening again. They highlighted the damage to oyster reefs and marine mammal populations, and are hoping for a law change to protect the sound and its ecosystem. Updates on this process are expected in the next few months.

SUMMARY: Memorial Hospital in Gulfport is facing a parking issue for its workers and patients. Coast Transit Authority is stepping in with a solution – a parking garage that would double the capacity of the existing lot. The garage will have 520 spaces, a pedestrian bridge to the hospital, and eliminate the need to cross a busy street. The $24 million project will be partially funded by the hospital with hopes for the rest to come from a US Department of Transportation grant.
