The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) put out two recent announcements: the final version of the 2021-2031 Watershed Management Plan is now available and the MWMO Executive Director Doug Snyder has announced his retirement.

Over the last two years, the MWMO has been developing their 2021-2031 Watershed Management Plan. Throughout the process, the MWMO solicited feedback from the public, state agencies, and local units of government. The final plan is now available and “sets out goals, strategies, and implementation actions based on past studies and current data on the watershed”.
