I have to say I'm a bit worried about the impact of this event on the coast line. We could see an effect on dive site through out the Gulf of Mexico if this get worse.

Mississippi, Gov. Haley Barbour said he has spoken with the Coast Guard mission commander, Rear Adm. Mary Landry but was uncertain what steps his state might take to protect its beaches.

"It's a real difficulty in trying to determine what defenses will be effective," he said.
