About the foundation From the hills in the northeast to the fertile alluvial soil of the Delta and down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast the Magnolia State offers residents and visitors endless outdoor opportunities. Whether you enjoy hunting fishing boating birdwatching or simply being outdoors there is something for everyone. In 2003 the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks MDWFP established a foundation to assist in protecting and preserving our states rich wildlife heritage. Now known as the Mississippi Wildlife Fisheries Parks Marine Foundation MWFPM Foundation we are the only organization that directly supports both the MDWFP and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources MDMR which has primary responsibility for marine resources and coastal conservation.
