MEDIA RELEASE:
Jackson, Miss. – The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has
issued a beach closure Tuesday for a section of the beach from Beauvoir
Road to the east end of Sadler Beach Drive in Biloxi.
The closure is being preemptively issued due to a sewage overflow.
MDEQ advises residents not to enter the water or consume any seafood
collected from these near shore waters until further notice. MDEQ will
monitor the water and lift the closure when bacteria levels indicate
conditions are safe for water contact.
