Located on Mississippi's southeastern coastline, Gulfport is the 2 nd largest city in the state and is home to a strong maritime industry. Although Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on Gulfport in 2005, its economy is slowly pulling itself back together as the city continues to rebuild its damaged structures and industries.

As one of the backbone industries of Gulfport, the maritime industry provides work for many residents of this city. However, despite the job opportunities and good pay, maritime occupations also put workers at a higher risk of experiencing injury or death while working.

Contact with hazardous materials, regular contact with heavy machinery and unpredictable weather among some of the many dangers associated with maritime occupations.

Due to the inherent risk of their jobs, maritime employees are protected by a special body of law know as the Jones Act or the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. In addition to protecting the rights of maritime workers, the Jones Act laws allow families of deceased maritime workers to collect death benefits, should their loved one be injured while working.
