What Is The Importance Of Saving Georgia's Coast
Saving Georgia’s Coast
SCI/ 275
In the state of Georgia, the belief is such that costal preservation is of the upmost importance, that it should be practiced regionally, nationally and even globally. Since there are many ecosystems that depend on the coastal regions that we have recently revealed, many more oceanic studies of this are still in the early stages compared to other environmental findings in past history. There have been many threats by developers and legislators for drilling for oil and gas off of Georgia’s shore. There have also been threats of protected land to undergo development. These threats make all plants, animals, and ecosystems extremely vulnerable. Not only does this issue affect humans and our future generations by the means of water, air and energy conservation, it greatly affects who we share out ecosystem with. Ecosystems connected to Georgia’s shores that are at risk are, Tital freshwater marsh, Cypress-Tupelo forest, and some islands such as Jekyll, Carrs and Egg. …show more content…
Many animals are close to extinction and on the conservation list. The American Bald Eagle, the West Indian Manatee, and the Loggerhead Sea Turtle are just a few of the many animals on the list. Not just animals are at risk; many of Georgia’s plants are at risk too. The False Dragonhead and the Chinese Tallow are at risk of extinction.
There are many environmental regulations for this issue. The Costal Marshlands Protection Act provides the Costal Resources Division with the authority to protect tidal wetlands (“Georgia Department of Natural Resources”, n.d.). Some state laws under the federal consistency provision are the
