OK, several of our beloved oyster reefs reopened this morning for tonging. It’s the latest in a blurring series of openings and closings announced by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.

You may see some activity in the northern portions of the Pass Christian and Henderson Point reefs and Hornets Reef, Waveland and St. Stanislaus Reef and the public reefs in St. Louis Bay, between the U.S. 90 Bridge and the CSX Railroad Bridge.

Support our local oyster industry and order them by the dozen in your favorite restaurant.
