Georgia completes wetlands monitoring

The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) recently completed annual wetlands monitoring at the Port of Savannah’s Garden City Terminal and a threatened and endangered species survey and ecological habitat assessment at the Port of Brunswick’s Colonel’s Island Terminal.

The GPA has protected a nine-acre freshwater wetland at the Port of Savannah’s Garden City Terminal, which is currently home to a six-nest rookery of Great White Egrets. At the Port of Brunswick, endangered and threatened bird species have found a home at an open-water / wetland habitat at Colonel’s Island Terminal.
