Bayou Keegan - Back Bay Biloxi
Biloxi, Mississippi, United States
This location has an installed Litter Gitter (passive litter removal device) on-site and will prove to be an excellent site to sample for water quality as it is frequently checked for litter on a routine basis. Sampling will occur at the start of the bayou, under the US-110 bridge in Biloxi; a smaller bridge (Crusaders Dr.) also runs over the bayou, slightly upstream from the sampling site. This bayou eventually empties into the Biloxi Back Bay.
