Honoring Mississippi’s Fishing Heritage

The 48th annual Blessing of the Fleet in Pass Christian Harbor was more than just a festive day with music and vendors—it was a heartfelt tribute to Mississippi’s fishing community, honoring fallen fishermen with a sky-dropped wreath and a ceremonial one tossed into the Gulf. It spotlighted the vital role local seafood plays in sustaining coastal livelihoods and called on everyone to support Mississippi’s fishermen by buying local. For many, like Jerome Ross, it’s a deeply personal celebration of family legacy and maritime pride, reminding us all to cherish and protect this vital industry.
