The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $999,998 project grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to develop enhanced guidelines and a geospatial visualization tool for marsh spatial planning in coastal Georgia. The project will integrate previous coastal research, conduct field sampling, and develop a high-resolution hydrodynamic model for coastal Georgia marshes. Researchers will use field study results and prior proposals to create marsh intervention scenarios for numerical simulations. These scenarios will form the basis for stakeholder-informed marsh spatial planning guidelines and a geospatial application to evaluate outcomes of various marsh vegetation enhancement, thin layer placement, oyster reef construction, and marsh terrain adjustments. The tool is intended to assess multiple benefits of different marsh interventions and realignments. The work will be completed between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2026.
