The objective of this study was to describe the overall structural and functional ecology of coastal Georgia, defined for purposes of this study as a region bounded by the mean high tide mark on the mainland extending eastward to include the marsh-estuary system, the offshore islands, and the adjacent marine areas of the continental shelf. This study also describes the ecology, plants and animals of the barrier islands, beaches, dunes, marshes, open marine waters, estuarine waters and the impact of human use. Appendices include lists of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
