Upcoming Public Programs

Apr. 20, 2013
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO 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.

The UGA Aquarium is only able to accept cash and checks (w/valid driver's license).
* We are unable to process credit or debit card transactions. *

All boat activities offered by UGA MECA are weather dependent.  The UGA MECA boat captains assigned to the activity reserve the right to cancel boat trips due to hazardous or potentially hazardous weather.
