Reported Hazards; Nearshore Mississippi

In response to concerns from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, United States Coast Guard Sector Mobile and FEMA, side-scan sonar surveys are being conducted in four areas along the Mississippi coast. The surveys are part of a pilot program to help determine the amount and extent of debris that poses serious risk to fishing, shrimping and recreational vessels.

The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources has posted information about these reported hazards at the link below:

This website does not supercede Coast Pilot 5. Information sent to CPB for this website is also evaluated for inclusion in the next edition of Coast Pilot 5. Critical information is published in the 8th Coast Guard District's Local Notice to Mariners.
