Ep 315| Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR)

Dennis and Margo from the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) join us to talk about the work they’re doing to protect and preserve Mississippi’s coastal ecosystems. We dive into the science behind stormwater projects in Moss Point, fire-dependent longleaf pine trees, and even a rare plant that only blooms in the moonlight.

They also explain how the reserve supports research, trains the next generation of environmental leaders, and helps the public understand the critical link between healthy marshes and strong fisheries. Whether you're into fishing, conservation, or just want to know what’s going on in your backyard, this episode will open your eyes to a whole new side of Grand Bay.

Also big thanks to Southern Magnolia Smiles, Forever Young Men's and Women Health, and Taylor and Cox Law Firm,  for the support!
