Mississippi is on a mission to shore up its marine-related Blue Economy.
With 62 miles of shoreline and a network of research-related resources, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is an ideal home for developing world-changing technologies and fostering next-generation innovations.
It's been home to several leading marine companies anchored in the state, including Huntington Ingalls Industries. The region is also home to a thriving energy and petroleum sector, which includes the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery in Jackson County.
Key to growing the Blue Economy in the state is a new initiative launched in July by the University of Southern Mississippi.
The Gulf Blue Initiative aims to capitalize on the region’s geography and marine resources to position Mississippi’s Gulf Coast as a global leader in ocean- and maritime-related technologies.
