UGAMI partnered with the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve to organize the 2nd annual Sapelo Symposium, which was held on Thursday, July 25. The day began with lightning talks at UGAMI that highlighted research being conducted on the Island, followed by lunch and a poster session in the Hog Hammock community. Approximately 70 people attended the event, including 8 students from the UGAMI summer semester program and 3 from the GCE-LTER, each of whom presented posters about their research. It was great to have an opportunity to celebrate Sapelo’s role as a hub for scientific activity.
