SUMMARY: Chevron’s Pascagoula Refinery, operating since 1963, produces nearly 7 million gallons of gasoline daily and has focused on reducing its carbon intensity. In 2023, the refinery contributed over $800 million to Mississippi’s economy. Chevron is also advancing a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project to capture and store CO2 emissions underground, potentially expanding to local industries. As the largest U.S. refinery, Pascagoula supports local jobs and the energy needs of the region and world, with the CCS project playing a key role in Chevron’s efforts to meet growing energy demands while lowering environmental impact.

SUMMARY: Naturalist Sharon Milligan witnessed a dramatic encounter at a pond where a Banded Water Snake captured a Two-toed Amphiuma by its tail.

Water snakes are equipped with flexible jaws to consume large prey. This encounter highlighted the amphiuma’s rarity, as they are nocturnal and primarily inhabit burrows. Both species sit at the top of their local aquatic food chains, with water snakes able to tackle larger prey than the amphibians. Sharon’s documentation enriches understanding of these creatures.
