We present a detailed analysis of the protostellar outflow activity in themassive star-forming region NGC 3324, as revealed by new Early ReleaseObservations (ERO) from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Emission fromnumerous outflows is revealed in narrow-band images of hydrogenPaschen-$\alpha$ (Pa-$\alpha$) and molecular hydrogen. In particular, we reportthe discovery of 24 previously unknown outflows based on their H$_2$ emission.We find three candidate driving sources for these H$_2$ flows in publishedcatalogs of young stellar objects (YSOs) and we identify 15 IR point sources inthe new JWST images as potential driving protostars. We also identify severalHerbig-Haro (HH) objects in Pa-$\alpha$ images from JWST; most are confirmed asjets based on their proper motions measured in a comparison with previousHubble Space Telescope (HST) H$\alpha$ images. This confirmed all previousHST-identified HH jets and candidate jets, and revealed 7 new HH objects. Theunprecedented capabilities of JWST allow the direct comparison of atomic andmolecular outflow components at comparable angular resolution. Futureobservations will allow quantitative analysis of the excitation, mass-lossrates, and velocities of these new flows. As a relatively modest region ofmassive star formation (larger than Orion but smaller than starburst clusters),NGC 3324 offers a preview of what star formation studies with JWST may provide.
