Biloxi Wedding
Biloxi ([blksi]) is a city in Harrison County, Mississippi, in the United States. The 2000 census recorded the population as 50,644. It is the smaller (population wise) of two principal cities of the Gulfport, Mississippi-Biloxi, Mississippi Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Gulport-Biloxi-Pascagoula, Mississippi Combined Statistical Area. The city is cocounty seat with Gulfport.
On August 29, 2005, Biloxi was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina, which struck with a 30-foot (9-meter) storm surge, but Biloxi began re-building soon after, with 3 casinos re-opened in late December, Beau Rivage re-opened on Katrina's anniversary, and other hotels/casinos being added in 2006 (see below).[1] In the center of what fisheries biologists term "The Fertile Fisheries Crescent", Biloxi offers some of the finest sportsfishing along the entire northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Spotted seatrout, red drum, Spanish and king mackerel, flounder, snapper, grouper, sharks, and more are all available to anglers during the fishing season. It is not known how Hurricane Katrina affected this biosystem.
Keesler Air Force Base lies within the city and is home to the 81st Training Wing of the U.S. Air Force.
