Gulf Impact Project

Gulf Impact Projects are research projects where Gulf Scholars will address the broad categories of livable coasts; equity; risk, disaster, and security; and defining the good life. Each Gulf Impact Project will include a proposal, project, reflection, and dissemination, including peer and community partner review, at the Gulf Symposium hosted by the GSP. Scholars will complete the Gulf Impact Project in their senior year.

Natalie Santiago

Natalie Santiago鈥檚 Gulf Impact Project, "Comparing the Distribution of Macroinvertebrate Communities Above and Below a Still in the Lower Bouie River," studied how surrounding environments, species, and communities are affected by the health of surrounding waterways. The Project developed knowledge of the surrounding waterways along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, identified potential ways to determine the health of a body of water and how this affects the surrounding environments, communities, and species. Bioindicators were used to attempt to determine the ecosystem health to identify ways to create a more livable and resilient Gulf Region.

Dr. Michael Andres mentored Natalie鈥檚 Gulf Impact Project. Dr. Andres is an Assistant Professor that specializes in linking connectivity of marine, estuarine, and freshwater habitats through the ecology of diadromous fishes and the parasites that call them home. 

Maya Wood

Maya Wood鈥檚 Gulf Impact Project, "A Coastal Community: How Small Business is Making a Big Impact on the Mississippi Coast," highlighted local businesses by giving a voice and platform to Mississippi residents to showcase the people and places living along the vibrant Gulf Coast. The project published four stories in a special series run through Seaside Social News. Each story reviewed the small business climate per county/city in the identified industries/markets and its positive effects on the Gulf Coast region and surrounding communities.

Amanda Compton-Ortiz of assisted Maya with her Gulf Impact Project. Seaside Social News is a local society resource for good news across the Mississippi Gulf Coast that hopes that you feel a sense of community when you venture through their stories of the vibrant coast life.
