will pump 50 million gallons of fresh water per day out of the Pascagoula River into the Richton Salt Dome and 50 million gallons per day of heavy brine, with low to no oxygen content, will be pumped into the Mississippi Sound South of Pascagoula, MS, which will negatively impact our fishery.  The government's own Environmental impact statements documents state this will create a dead zone in the Gulf south of Pascagoula measured in square miles.  While CCA MS is not an environmental organization, we have a vested interest in the effect this project will have on Shellfish and Finfish.

CCA MS Position on the Salt Dome


CCA MS is fighting to

Protect our Speckled Trout

 lowering of the size limit on Spotted Sea trout. 

The CMR totally ignored the DMR's Biologists recommendation to keep the 14 inch size limit and voted to drop the Spotted Sea Trout size limit to 13 inches.  This was against the DMR Scientist's recommendations and is against the mandate the commission was set up under.
