Summary:	"Watershed tells the story of a young boy raised on the bank of the Pascagoula River. His was a family whose livelihood hinged on the bounty of the river and swamp. His experiences while growing up in this natural wonderland taught young Herman Murrah to appreciate and develop a passion for this unique piece of paradise. As a young adult, Herman worked as a game warden in the Pascagoula River Swamp. His appreciation of the uniqueness of one of the last natural ecosystems in the US continued to grow. Herman became determined to preserve and protect this natural wonder. When the current owners of the swamp (the Pascagoula Hardwood Company) decide to sell the vast expanse of hardwood to be clear cut and destroyed forever, Herman teamed with several other visionaries to save this ecological anomaly for future generations by persuading the State of Mississippi to purchase the swamp and preserve it perpetually. Once the State purchased the swamp and it became the Pascagoula River Wildlife Management Area, Herman was appointed area manager for the upper portion. He dedicated the remainder of his life to preserving, protecting, and improving the swamp for the good people of South Mississippi. Herman's love affair with the Pascagoula River Swamp lasted a lifetime and beyond. His story continues to inspire young conservationists as we strive to protect some of our last remaining natural ecosystems"--
