• Description:
  The purpose of this guide is to assist prospective aquaculturists to better understand the laws and permitting procedures applicable to aquaculture operations in coastal Mississippi. In most instances, several regulatory agencies are involved; a variety of federal, state, and local permits may be required, depending on individual circumstances, such as the location of the proposed aquaculture facility, the kinds of aquatic products involved, and the potential impact on the environment. This guide serves only as a general introduction to the current regulatory regime governing aquaculture in the coastal Mississippi counties. Laws and regulations are constantly changing. Therefore, it is important that prospective aquaculturists contact the relevant permitting agencies as early as possible for preapplication meetings.
