MSU to the Rescue: Veterinary Medicine College Again Saves Rare Sea Turtle
SUMMARY: A Kemp’s ridley sea turtle named Toast Malone, one of the world’s most endangered species, had its third successful procedure at Mississippi State University‘s College of Veterinary Medicine (MSU CVM), where a fishhook was removed from its stomach via endoscopy. Another loggerhead sea turtle, Mudpie, also had fishhooks removed successfully by Dr. John Thomason and his team. These efforts, part of the Global Center for Aquatic Health and Food Security, provide essential rehabilitation and hands-on experience for veterinary students. Both turtles are undergoing further rehabilitation before potential release to ensure they can survive in the wild.

SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) is set to operate a new remotely operated vehicle (ROV) funded by NOAA and NSF to enhance research and restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. Scheduled for construction in 2024, this medium-size ROV aims to improve accessibility for oceanographic research by functioning on multiple ships. USM’s Associate VP Dr. Leila Hamdan emphasizes that this initiative will aid in workforce development and blue economy growth, particularly for students in USM’s Ocean Engineering program. The ROV will support restoration projects addressing habitat damage from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, facilitating significant scientific discoveries.
