PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) — State agencies say it is once again OK to fish and swim in Bayou Casotte and the adjacent waters of the Mississippi Sound.

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources closed the Jackson County area to fishing and water contact on Sunday, after investigating a fish kill.

A notice Wednesday said tests have found that water quality is back within normal levels.
