Sapelo Island Adventure: The History & Ecology of the Georgia Coast

Sapelo Island Adventure: The History & Ecology of the Georgia Coast Get down and dirty on Sapelo Island. Join us for a rich field experience on Sapelo Island. Become familiar with the culture and history of one of Georgia?s unspoiled barrier islands, and visit many cultural and historic sites on the island. Visit salt marshes, maritime forests, beaches, research sites, and estuaries. Learn about organisms commonly found in Sapelo Island?s marine habitats, the ecology of the major marine habitats of Georgia, and the impact of human activities on the coastal ecosystems of Georgia. We will be climbing in and out of a flatbed truck and riding in a boat, so good physical condition is required. We will be staying in a dormitory, and the group will be responsible for cooking their own meals. An optional dinner one night will be at Lula?s in Hog Hammock, approximately $20. Dates: April 24 - 27, 2008 Rate: $169 Organizational Meeting: April 7 7:30pm Registration Deadline: Thu March 27 Tour Guide: Nancy Dalman
