U.S. Representative Earl “Buddy” Carter (Georgia, 1st district) visited Sapelo Island to learn about the research and education programs at UGAMI. He had a chance to tour the Institute, interact with researchers, and meet with a group of volunteers from the Friends of UGAMI. He also met with our partners from the Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources and the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve.
