SUMMARY:Rethinking Runoff in Brunswick
DESCRIPTION:Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant is teaming up with the City of Brunswick and Keep Golden Isles Beautiful to launch the Love Where You Live campaign\, designed to encourage residents to get involved in caring for green spaces that mitigate flooding and protect water quality in local neighborhoods. \n\n\n\nAs part of the campaign\, kiosks have been placed in public areas where green infrastructure projects have been installed to help filter and clean stormwater before it reaches our marshes. The kiosks include grab-and-go supplies\, like trash bags and gloves\, that people can use to help remove litter before it becomes pollution! \n\n\n\nTogether\, we can keep Brunswick beautiful. \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about this project\, join us at the Roosevelt Harris\, Jr. Senior Citizens Center to learn about green infrastructure and how you can give back to your community! \n\n\n\nThis program is best suited for adults\, but all ages are welcome. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Jessica Brown\, Stormwater Specialist\, at jtrbrown@uga.edu or call 912-264-7341 \n\n\n\nThis cooperative project and program have been funded in part by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

SUMMARY:Discovering Your Backyard Marsh
DESCRIPTION:Georgia has an estimated 378\,000 acres of salt marsh\, one of the most extensive and productive habitats of its type in the U.S. that serve as the primary nursery for many species of fish\, crabs\, shrimps\, and the birds that feed on them. The salt marsh provides storm protection\, opportunities for recreation and improves water quality\, but is also under threat due to sea level rise. The South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative brings together partners from North Carolina to Florida to identify strategies for sustaining one million acres of salt marsh across the four-state region\, with Georgia’s marshes at its heart. Join Dr. Michelle Covi\, marsh ecologist and 2026 chair of the SASMI Partnership Council\, to learn more about the salt marsh in our own backyard and the work underway to protect and restore this vital habitat. \n\n\n\nThis program takes place at the UGA Aquarium on Skidaway Island\, where we’ll begin with an overview of the South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative. After the presentation\, we’ll head out to the Jay Wolf Nature Trail to discover the marsh up close\, viewing the plant and animal inhabitants that make up this ecosystem. Bring clothes and shoes that can get muddy\, along with your sense of wonder and adventure! \n\n\n\nRegistration is required for participants ages 3 and up and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium. Content is best suited for ages 13 and up\, but all ages are welcome. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Tickets are nonrefundable.

SUMMARY:Bloomwatch Tybee: Monitoring Plants and Pollinator
DESCRIPTION:Join Sea Grant–funded researchers from Georgia Southern University for an engaging exploration of Tybee Island. Learn about plants and pollinators\, the role of native bees in coastal ecosystems\, and how climate and human activity influence these vital ecosystem processes. \n\n\n\nThe program begins at Jaycee Park (adjacent to Tybee Island Guard House)\, where researchers will introduce plant–pollinator relationships with live and preserved specimens. Participants will then explore the island’s native and landscaped plants through guided\, field-based learning. Using a variety of field research techniques and the iNaturalist mobile app\, participants will observe Tybee’s plants and learn how to monitor their responses to human activity. \n\n\n\nThis beginner-friendly program is designed for participants ages 15 and up\, with no prior experience needed. The program is free\, but registration is required to hold your spot. All ages are welcome\, but children under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Shannon Matzke at shannon.matzke@uga.edu or call 912-598-2446. \n\n\n\nThis project is funded through Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Biennial Research Competition\, with grant funds covering the cost of the program
