Welcome to our spring semester students, who arrived on Saturday, January 6 and will be on-site through April. In addition to UGA, they hail from the University of West Georgia, Dalton State University, Georgia Tech, and the College of Coastal Georgia. During their time at UGAMI, students will take courses in marine biology, ecology, animal behavior, marine fisheries, and coastal ecosystems. The students will get a chance to interact with many different people on Sapelo and the Georgia coast, and to spend lots of time in the field. Contact Dr. Tom Hancock (Thomas.Hancock@uga.edu) if you want to know more!
