Learning About the Altamaha from the Headwaters
to the Coast
As part of Altamaha Riverkeeper’s Wildlife in the Altamaha educational
outreach program, ARK’s Director Deborah Sheppard presented coastal
issues to twenty Georgia teachers. ARK partners with state, federal, and
private partners to share educational resources to promote a healthy watershed.
The teachers were participating in a June Rivers to Reef Educators Workshop full
of field experiences and classroom lessons led by the Georgia Aquarium and
NOAA’S Grays Reef.
