Located on the
Gulf of Mexico and within view of many of
the gulf's barrier islands, you'll find
Pascagoula. Only 41 miles west of Mobile,
AL, and 97 miles east of New Orleans,
Louisiana, Pascagoula is easily accessed
by Interstate 10. A semi-tropical climate
with an average temperature of 68.5
degrees Fahrenheit and an annual rainfall
of 71.58 inches contributes to the lush
green surroundings and abundance of
seafood. With the Mississippi Sound and a
number of rivers and waterways so close,
water sports and fishing are year-round
activities. Pascagoula is an
international deep-water port. This
provides an ideal base for foreign trade,
shipbuilding and the newest pride of the
U.S. Navy, Naval Station Pascagoula. Off
Pascagoula's beautiful coastline is the
Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico,
one of the world's most abundant sources
of shrimp, redfish, oysters, crabs,
crawfish, and many other seafood
delicacies.
Jackson County, of which
Pascagoula is the county seat, covers 731
square miles. 72% of this acreage
consists of commercial forests which
support the paper industry of the area.
The Gulf Islands National Seashore and
Desoto National Forest are nationally
recognized parks and historic landmarks.
Transportation available in the Jackson
County area consists of the Jackson
County Airport in Pascagoula, the Trent
Lott International Airport in Moss Point,
and the Ocean Springs Airport in Ocean
Springs. Major highways running through
Jackson County are MS 63, US 90, and
Interstate 10.
The 415-bed Singing River Hospital has
over 75 physicians and is located on
Highway 90 in Pascagoula. It features
state-of-the-art equipment and has the
only civilian neurosurgical intensive
care unit on the Mississippi Coast.
The total population of
Jackson County is 115,243. Manufacturing
industries comprise the major sources of
employment in the area. Ingalls
Shipbuilding, a division of Litton
Industries, which produces Naval ships
for U.S. and international fleets employs
15,044. Chevron U.S.A. Products Co., a
major producer of Petroleum fuels,
employs 1,130. Other major manufacturers
of the area include the International
Paper Co., Moss Point Marine, Inc., and
Gulf City Seafood's, Inc. In 1992
Pascagoula ranked as the 5th largest port
for commercial fishery landings in the
United States.
