Download Paddling the Pascagoula AudioBook Free
Science magazine identifies the Pascagoula River of southeast Mississippi as the last unaltered large river system in the low 48 state governments and southern Canada. Along its lenders and watershed, 600,000 acres of general population lands - animals management areas, nationwide forest, wilderness areas, nationwide wildlife refuges, Aspect Conservancy preserves - ensure the creation of a significant natural river system. To explore this sanctum, authors Ernest Herndon and Scott B. Williams traveled its full 200-plus mile length by canoe and sea kayak, respectively. Each floated one of two major tributaries, Herndon taking the Leaf, Williams the Chickasawhay. Then they met on the key Pascagoula and sustained on to the Gulf Coast. Along the way, the two found alligators and ospreys, conservationists and good ole guys. They ran rapids and explored swamps, dodged logjams and looked into possible pollution options. The audiobook gives the armchair explorer a brilliant sense of what it might be like to float this wonderful river and provides an abundance of information in what makes it special and the problems that threaten it. The e book is printed by University or college Press of Mississippi.
