Not applicable. DeSoto County is in North Mississippi near the Tennessee border and has no coastline. Mississippi coastal development rules (Miss. Code §49-27 Wetlands Act) apply only to Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson counties on the Gulf Coast.
DeSoto County lies in the northwest corner of Mississippi in the Memphis metro area, roughly 400 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi Coastal Wetlands Protection Act (Miss. Code §49-27) and Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) jurisdiction apply only to the three coastal counties of Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson. DeSoto County has no coastline, no tidal waters, and no MDMR regulatory footprint. Floodplain and riverine wetland protection in DeSoto County is handled separately through FEMA floodplain management (see flood-zones) and Clean Water Act Section 404 wetlands permitting (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District) for streams and wetlands tied to the Coldwater River, Horn Lake Creek, Nonconnah Creek, and Mississippi River tributary systems.
Not applicable — no coastal zone jurisdiction. Inland wetland and stream impacts are enforced by USACE under Clean Water Act §404 and MDEQ under Miss. Code §49-17 with penalties up to $25,000 per day.
