Spent today on the Pearl River introducing @soseusm SFP Ichthyology class to our fieldwork. We caught 32 Gulf sturgeon - including this beast measuring over 2 m TL! Quite a successful day with @Wormy_Sturgeon , @greenbeath , @KaseaPrice , @Coastal_Keith,
Sarah, and Ceci <3

@SolomonRDavid I hooked something special today while fishing for sunfish.

Today, our #CoastalConservation & #Restoration lab held an in-house river cleanup as part of a #derelict vessel removal grant. We #removed 300lbs of #marinedebris in 2.5 hours! Here’s a quick drone shot of the #Pascagoula #marsh I took for yall :) #Coastal_Keith

One the first projects I worked on at MS State was developing wave tanks to demonstrate the effectiveness of #livingshorelines. I drafted a manual to help others recreate them & it recently got published! https://t.co/s6jBQmbO8W

Exciting things are happening at the Nicholls Farm/BTNEP Native Plant Nursery! Earlier this month, BTNEP partnered with Nicholls to create a 1-acre wildflower plot to support pollinators and additional wildlife at the farm. Together we sowed 36 lbs of seed!

Today we discovered my dog likes swings 🤷‍♂️

Check out my first big journal publication! We developed a manual for other organizations to implement similar #derelict trap reward removal programs! 🤓

Ever wondered how livestock is used sustainably?? Targeted Grazing could be it! We developed a survey within gulf coast states to determine the potential of a #TargetedGrazing program to enhance Longleaf Pine Savannas! Read about it! 🐐🐄#Coastal_Keith
