The University of Georgia (UGA) received a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) to document culturally important sites and strengthen resilience planning for the Gullah Geechee community on Sapelo Island, Georgia. The two-year project, titled "Building Gullah Geechee Resilience to Climate Change Through Spaces of Abundance in the Salt Marsh of Sapelo Island," will use human-scale photography to capture the deep ecological knowledge of the Gullah Geechee people and their connection to the island's marsh landscapes. The project is being conducted in partnership with the local non-profit organization Save Our Legacy Ourself (SOLO).
