Marine Debris Wassaw Island Full Day Trip
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO FORECASTED INCLEMENT WEATHER . |
Coastal Stewards: Do you appreciate the beautiful barrier islands, tidal creeks and salt marshes along Georgia’s coast? Then come make a difference and help us protect and preserve these unique, local habitats from the impacts of marine debris. During this hands-on stewardship program, you will hike a section of beach on Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, collect and identify items that have washed ashore or have been left behind by island visitors. You will be amazed at what you find! Come discover and learn about the ever growing issue of marine debris while enjoying the natural surroundings and solitude of an undeveloped island and taking an active role in maintaining the beauty of where we live. This program is currently FULL. If you would like to be put on our waiting list, please email fish@uga.edu. |
