Pascagoula River Audubon Center

I was fortunate to be able to attend a lecture here at the Ocean Springs Library by speaker Mozart Dedeaux of the Pascagoula River Audubon Center. He explained that the Pascagoula River is the last unimpeded river in the 48 continuous United States - meaning no dams are placed along the river and it flows uninterrupted to the Gulf of Mexico. What that equates to is a diverse ecosystem and a migratory bird flyway. At present, the center is a small house, but fundraising is underway to finance the construction of a 3-story center. Mr. Dedeaux, who is the Education Coordinator, and Dr. Mark LaSalle, Center Director, currently educate young and old alike about the biodiversity along the river. Two to two and half hour tours are available for those who want to see the river via guided boat tour. How fortunate we are that Audubon has such plans that we might enjoy this natural treasure up close!! You can visit the website and learn more at:
