SUMMARY: The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies is rehabilitating 23 endangered Kim Ridley sea turtles that suffered from cold stunning after being trapped in frigid waters in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Mississippi State University veterinary students are assisting in the recovery process by conducting initial examinations, blood work, and monitoring the turtles’ health. Cold-stunned turtles often experience pneumonia and frostbite, requiring personalized treatment plans, including fluids and antibiotics. The students gain invaluable experience that will aid their future careers while fostering a commitment to environmental conservation. Once rehabilitated, the turtles will be released back into Mississippi Sound.

A group of Mississippi State University veterinarians were in Gulfport on a mission to save the sea turtle habitat.

SUMMARY: A chemical manufacturing company, PCC Group, is investing over half a billion dollars to build a chlorine production plant in Harrison County, Mississippi. This project, in collaboration with Kmore Titanium Technology, will establish a facility with a capacity of 340,000 tons of chlorine annually. The initiative aims to supply chlorine primarily for Kmore’s operations while expanding PCC’s footprint in the U.S. market, which is viewed as more stable compared to Europe and Asia. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2026, with expectations to operationalize the plant by 2028, creating numerous jobs in the region.
