Coastal water blue instead of brown? Here’s an idea…
The Hancock County Greenways Committee is searching for a way to overcome the unpleasant appearance of the brown water along the beach, by building a second seawall and creating a new bluewater ecosystem close to shore. The blue water beaches would help the ecology, provide an increased resilience against storm surge and the natural economic benefit of a more attractive place to live and visit.
If completed, Hancock County would be home to the only blue water beach between Orange Beach in Alabama, and Galveston, Texas.
