Oyster Fishermen & Seafood Dealers React To MS Governor's Council On Oysters

PASS CHRISTIAN, MS – What do oyster fishermen and seafood dealers think of the newly created Governor's Oyster Council? Interesting question, since we didn't see any fishermen at Monday's ceremony creating the council. So, WLOX News visited the docks in Pass Christian on Tuesday morning for reaction to the initiative.

The fishermen and seafood dealers we talked with didn't know about the governor's plans to create the oyster council until they saw on the news.

"I'd love to have some improvements. I'd love to see a great future for these oyster reefs. And I hope that this new thing that they're starting will help benefit us," said Darlene Kimball with Kimballs Seafood.
