The goggles do nothing

I read somebody complain somewhere that the boom-laying operations feel like pointless busywork to occupy the hundreds of anxious volunteers. Kind of looks that way.

BAY ST. LOUIS — Resident Dave Depreo reports booms have broken apart across the mouth of the Bay of St. Louis.

They were placed from Bay St. Louis shores in Hancock County to Henderson Point in Pass Christian to protect the bay and its estuaries, including the Wolf and Jourdan Rivers.

“They broke apart and are doing absolutely no good,” said Depreo, who watched the rough surf on the shoreline in downtown Bay St. Louis. “Some of the booms are laying right here on the beach.”
