Shrimpers struggling as season draws to end
SUMMARY: Victor Lee, a deckhand on the captain’s shrimp boat for seven years, laments the struggling economic conditions due to undercut import prices that have affected everyone. Customers are buying cheaper imported shrimp at the store, leading to a decline in the local shrimp industry. Turned to factories to purchase the catch, inshore shrimp industry is suffering. Victor expresses his concern over the impact of these economic trends on the viability of his job and the local fishing industry. This highlights the challenges faced by local fishermen and the impact of global trade on their livelihoods.
Although the in-shore shrimp season doesn’t end until January 1, many boats are already hanging up their nets.

Lost Towns of Hancock County
SUMMARY: In Hancock County, communities like Bay St. Louis and Diamond Head are familiar, but five towns were displaced decades ago for the Stennis Space Center and its buffer zone. Established in 1961, Stennis required clearing nearly 140,000 acres, leading to the relocation of Santa Rosa, Westonia, Napoleon, Gainesville, and Logtown, impacting around 700 families. While some residents moved willingly, others resisted, exemplified by an elderly woman who insisted on moving her house. Despite the loss, many descendants now work at Stennis. A memorial event, “From Roots to Rockets,” is scheduled for November 2, honoring these lost communities and their families.
