Marine Debris - MS Gulf Coast

Somewhat "TimBurtonEsque", tree parts rise out of the water.

Hermit crabs have taken up residence on the trees and other debris.

I found several pieces of an iron lawn set in the Gulf.

The list of marine debris gets longer and weirder. I have heard about 2 houses found in the Gulf. One brick house was found in a shipping channel at the end of Hopkins Blvd. in Biloxi. It was moved out of the channel, but is still under water. A shrimp boat ran into a house still attached to the slab. Autos, refrigerators, and furniture are among many items found on the barrier islands.
