The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $528,337 Cooperative Agreement under the Habitat Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.463) to The Georgia Conservancy Inc., a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. The funding will be used to collaborate with the Seabrook Village Foundation to create a living shoreline along a public landing in Seabrook, a historic Gullah Geechee community. The project aims to design and construct the living shoreline to help protect the site from erosion and stormwater runoff. The Georgia Conservancy Inc. will also lead outreach and education activities such as volunteer opportunities, community meetings, summer camps, and educational forums. This effort supports NOAA's mission to restore and protect critical coastal, marine, and estuarine habitats. The project will run from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
