SUMMARY: The Mississippi plan to lease 80% of its historically public oyster reefs to private companies has sparked division. State officials argue it will boost oyster restoration and reduce costs, while fishermen worry it threatens their livelihoods and public access. The plan follows the 2019 Bonnet Carre Spillway opening, which damaged oyster beds. The leases, lasting 15 years, include strict regulations on oyster cultivation. Critics argue it benefits wealthy investors and undermines public access, with some fishermen raising concerns about transparency and communication. Despite state promises of better outreach, many remain skeptical of the plan’s impact on the fishing community.
