Meeting on Island Time

The Southeast Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network held its annual Steering Committee and Board Meeting last month at the Convention and Visitor's Center in St. Marys, Georgia. Along with a full day of presentations from network staff and the steering committee and board meetings, participants took a tour of Cumberland Island National Seashore. The fiscal year 2020 workplan was approved.

John Fry, Chief of Resource Management at Cumberland Island National Seashore, talks to the group about a proposed space launch facility across the Cumberland River and near the site of the historic Cumberland Wharf on the north end of the island.
