The University of Georgia Marine Institute At Sapelo Island
UGAMI received a National Science Foundation award through the Field Stations and Marine Labs (FSML) program to upgrade the UGAMI seawater system. Completion of the new system, which will support future growth of UGAMI, is anticipated by mid-September.
Visitors include researchers from Creighton University and University of Houston, as well as graduate students and interns, and undergraduates from UGA’s Coastal Summer Semester and Interdisciplinary Field Program.
The cover of the spring 2016 issue of UGA’s Honors Program magazine featured anthropology students students who visited Sapelo Island to learn about its rich history and its salt marsh ecosystem.
UGAMI researchers explain how saltwater intrusion has changed the ecosystem of the historically freshwater areas of the marsh on Sapelo Island.
