The Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Foundation (MWFP Foundation) and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) are partnering up to further enhance conservation and outdoor recreation efforts across the state.
Moving forward, the two will operate under the title of Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, Parks, and Marine Foundation (MWFPM Foundation). With the inclusion of MDMR, the MWFPM Foundation will now provide comprehensive support to both state agencies responsible for preserving Mississippi’s natural resources.
This partnership will allow the Foundation to fund additional programs and initiatives that benefit wildlife conservation, natural resource management, and outdoor recreation from the Pine Belt to the Gulf Coast.
“The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources is excited to join forces with the MWFPM Foundation. Their longstanding dedication to conservation and outdoor recreation aligns perfectly with our mission,” MDMR President Joe Spraggins said. “This partnership will enable us to further protect our coastal resources and provide more opportunities for the public to enjoy Mississippi’s rich marine heritage.”
A unified front, the MWFPM Foundation remains committed to funding programs and initiatives that promote wildlife conservation, outdoor education, and recreational opportunities for all Mississippians.
“By expanding our support to include the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, the MWFPM Foundation is now positioned to make an even greater impact across the entire state,” MWFP Foundation Board Chairman John Taylor said. “Our mission has always been to help fund the preservation and enhancement of Mississippi’s natural resources, and this new partnership allows us to do so on a larger scale. We look forward to working closely with both MDWFP and MDMR to achieve our shared goals.”
The Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, Parks, and Marine Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the conservation and enhancement of Mississippi’s natural resources. Since its founding, the Foundation has partnered with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks to fund a wide range of programs that promote outdoor education, wildlife conservation, and recreational opportunities.
Now, with the inclusion of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, the Foundation’s efforts will extend to the protection of the state’s marine ecosystems as well.
