Cleanup of the Coast Shorline Nearing 50 Percent

Cleanup of the Coast Shorline Nearing 50 Percent: "A fleet of small two-man boats continues to ply the shoreline along the Mississippi Gulf Coast pulling tree debris, chunks of metal and even kitchen sinks out of the mud. At low tide, converted sod-laying machines sift the sand and muck collecting additional rubble deposited by Hurricane Katrina.

To date, and nearly halfway through a 90-day shoreline cleanup schedule in Harrison, Jackson and Hancock Counties, nearly 24,000 cubic yards of soggy debris have been pulled from the shallow waters, including bays and estuaries."
