Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
On September 25, the United States Secretary of Commerce declared a 2019 catastrophic regional fisheries disaster for Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama.
Mississippi's commercial fishing, seafood, and charter industries were directly impacted by the opening(s) of the Bonnet Carr Spillway in 2019.
The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) will conduct financial assistance in the form of direct payments to the impacted industries to alleviate the significant losses incurred as a result of the flooding event.
Direct payments will benefit the fishery by providing economic support to continue operations, therefore providing incentive to retain the historical participants of the industries.
Projects to enhance and improve Mississippi's marine fisheries and seafood businesses will also aid in the long-term stability of these industries.
The MDMR will also administer restoration activities to enhance habitat damaged from the spillway openings.
