Keesler secures from Back Bay

BILOXI, Miss. - Keesler Air Force Base and Mississippi’s Department of Marine Resources have installed 15 buoys on the Back Bay of Biloxi to keep boaters from trespassing on base property. The base has had problems with intruders although there are large signs on shore identifying Keesler as government property, WXXV-TV reported. Each buoy was installed 150 feet away from shore. Maj. Jonathon Murray, 81st Security Forces Squadron commander, says the base continues to try to heighten security and clearly define its boundaries. The project took almost two years of research and coordination between the AF and the Army Corps of Engineers, which controls navigable waterways. (Source: The AP 05/26/18)
