The GCRC held its third Coastal Colloquium on August 10-11, 2009. The meeting was attended by 60 scientists representing academic institutions from across the state, managers from state (Georgia DNR Coastal Resources; Environmental Protection; Wildlife Management), and federal (Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary; US Army Corps of Engineers; US Geological Survey; Sea Grant College Program) agencies, as well as DNR project partners working within The Nature Conservancy. After Merryl Alber welcomed the group, overviews of the Coastal Management Program (GA-DNR Coastal Resources Division) and Georgia Sea Grant were given.
