17 GOMESA projects for south MS

BILOXI, Miss. - Seventeen blue economy projects in South Mississippi will receive more than $20M in funding from the latest Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act disbursement. Gov. Phil Bryant announced the GOMESA funding Sept. 27. The designated projects include everything from water quality testing and beach re-nourishment to buying fish for the Mississippi Aquarium now under construction in Gulfport. The projects will be administered by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. GOMESA was created in 2006 by Congress and shares leasing revenues among the four Gulf oil and gas producing states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and their coastal political subdivisions.
