The Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum was established in 1986 to preserve and interpret the maritime history and heritage of Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It conducts an array of exhibits on shrimping, oystering, recreational fishing, wetlands, managing marine resources, charter boats, marine blacksmithing, wooden boat building, net making, shrimp peeling machines, and numerous historic photographs and objects. The museum also conducts year-round educational programs and a summer sea-n-sail adventure camp which teaches youth about local maritime heritage.
