Tonight the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality hosted an open forum.
This week, Mississippi was awarded $28 million more in settlements from the BP oil spill.
The BP oil spill had a devastating effect on many natural resources on the Gulf Coast, so non-profit groups are working to restore affected areas and the groups want to make sure locals benefit from the work.
Legal settlements from the BP oil spill are starting to trickle in and some Coast restoration projects have already begun, but local non-profit groups and businesses are concerned money from the settlement won't benefit local residents.
