UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant invite you to attend Introduction to the Georgia Coast, the first in a series of environmental education workshops offered as part of the Coastal Stewards Program. The goal of the Coastal Stewards Program is to engage adults in activities designed to improve knowledge of coastal ecosystems, enhance understanding of current issues impacting coastal communities, and inspire stewardship of coastal resources. Workshop activities will include a trawl aboard the R/V Sea Dawg, salt marsh and maritime forest exploration, phytoplankton identification in a lab setting, and biological and water quality sampling using scientific equipment in the field.
