Georgia Coastal Research Council

The Georgia Coastal Research Council was established to provide mechanisms for improved scientific exchange between coastal scientists and decision makers and to promote the incorporation of best-available scientific information into State and local resource management. The Council is not a policy organization, but rather seeks to provide unbiased, objective information about scientific issues.
