In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, Matt Wyatt sits down with Dr. Holley Muraco, a marine mammal researcher with Mississippi State University’s Coastal Research and Extension Center. From growing up in Potts Camp to training dolphins at Disney and researching walruses in Alaska, Dr. Muraco shares her fascinating path back to Mississippi. She dives into the state’s surprising marine mammal diversity, including urban dolphins in the Mississippi Sound, manatees most people never see, and even resident sperm whales and giant squid battles off our coast.
