Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership

UGAMI hosted the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership’s (IGEL) coastal Georgia session this past weekend. IGEL focuses on advancing the knowledge and skills needed to address Georgia’s environmental challenges and includes individuals from state agencies, academia, and the private sector. The program featured talks from guest speakers in coastal conservation and management, a tour of the island, dinner in Hogg Hummock at Lula’s Kitchen, and a kayaking excursion from Racoon Bluff to the shore of Blackbeard Island. The trip’s coordinator wrote afterwards to say “The stay was fantastic, the renovated rooms were wonderful, the food was excellent, and the trip overall was a huge success!”
