Launched in response to the passage of Hurricane Katrina, Operation Backyard Recovery is focused on helping people and wildlife recover from the damage to trees and habitats across coastal Mississippi and beyond.
What is it?: A project to promote the public use and enjoyment of the entire Pascagoula River and its natural resources, widely recognized as the last large unimpeded river system in the contiguous United States.
Vision: To provide opportunities for people to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Pascagoula River watershed.
The Pascagoula River Basin Alliance is a diverse group of stakeholders, including individuals, non-profit agencies, industry, and government agencies. This alliance will: promote continued conservation of naturally functioning ecosystems; foster new scientific research for a greater understanding of natural processes; encourage public enjoyment and understanding of natural resources and their values; and work with communities to explore opportunities for sustainable economic growth.
