Base of Oyster Reef Restoration Project In the Mississippi Sound Completed
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) have completed a key phase in their project to optimize oyster habitat restoration in Mississippi Sound. Two 50-acre reef sites near Bay St. Louis and Pascagoula contain eight experimental plots featuring limestone substrate reefs. The project aims to restore oyster populations and assess the impact on the Gulf sturgeon, a federally protected species. The initiative promises ecological and economic benefits, enhancing the local ecosystem and supporting the oyster industry. Future phases will include contractor procurement for further enhancements in 2025.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is rich in pottery and potters, with a deep connection to the local mud, particularly from the Mississippi River. The author, inspired by her late son and encouraged by her husband, began taking pottery lessons despite her self-proclaimed clumsiness. Learning pottery at Crossroads Pottery brought joy and healing to her life. She humorously discovered her left-handedness while working with clay, turning all her projects into bowls. Through pottery, she learned valuable lessons about seizing opportunities, forging new friendships, and enjoying the creative process. Ultimately, she concludes that Mississippi mud plays a crucial role in her artistic journey.
