Background Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary is one of 14 marine protected areas that make up the National Marine Sanctuary System that encompasses more than 150,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes waters from Washington State to the Florida Keys, and from Lake Huron to American Samoa. Gray’s Reef is one of three national marine sanctuaries that make up the Southeast Region. It is governed by the National Marine Sanctuaries Act and managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The National Marine Sanctuaries Act mandates the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) “to identify and designate as national marine sanctuaries areas of the marine environment which are of special national significance and to manage these areas as the National Marine Sanctuary System…” The mission of NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries is to serve as the trustee for the nation's system of marine protected areas, to conserve, protect, and enhance their biodiversity, ecological North East Region integrity and cultural legacy. West Coast Region Each sanctuary is a special place with its own habitats, living resources, and cultural South East Region resources needing special Pacific Islands Region protections. The National Marine Sanctuary System consists of 13 sanctuaries and one marine national monument. The sanctuaries are grouped into four regions, including the North East Region, the South East Region that includes the GRNMS, the West Coast Region, and the Pacific Islands Region. Marine National Monument Figure 1: National Marine Sanctuary System Locations National Marine Sanctuary Facility Programming and Consulting Savannah Outreach Market Study Final– April 2010 NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuary Page 1.1 Executive Summary About GRNMS Savannah Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, designated in January 1981, is one of the largest near shore live-bottom reefs in the southeastern United States. The sanctuary is located 17.5 nautical miles Administrative Headquarters off Sapelo Island, GA. GRNMS is the only natural reef area protected off the Georgia Coast. Current GRNMS facilities are located approximately 20 miles outside the City of Savannah on the north end of Skidaway Island on the campus of Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. Current GRNMS Locations Exhibit partnerships have become an important method for the ONMS to reach people. Partnerships are often a successful and cost-effective method to reach the public, and GRNMS has several partners that sponsor exhibits, signs, or kiosks related to the system, including GRNMS The Georgia Aquarium (Atlanta, GA) Tybee Island Marine Science Center (Tybee Island, near Savannah, GA) The Fernbank Museum of Natural History (Atlanta, GA) Figure 2: GRNMS Locations The University of Georgia's Marine Education Center and Aquarium (Skidaway Island, near Savannah, GA) Georgia Southern University (Statesboro GA) The South Carolina Aquarium (Charleston, SC) Sapelo Island Visitor Center (Sapelo Island, GA) Figure 3: GRNMS Exhibit Locations Savannah Outreach Market Study Facility Programming and Consulting NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Final – April 2010 Page 1.2 Executive Summary Project Summary The Savannah Outreach Project Market Study looks to gather available information about the current sanctuary facilities and the local perception, tourism and resident data related to visitors at GRNMS, and any market information relating to visitors and tourism in Savannah. The market study is meant to be a driver for a possible satellite location, exhibit(s), or multiple locations and/or partnerships in downtown Savannah to reach more tourists and residents with the sanctuary message. The actual sanctuary is only accessible by boat; however, GRNMS administrative offices are on the north end of Skidaway Island near Savannah but approximately 20 miles away. Although the sanctuary has partnerships with many organizations, the site would like to expand education and outreach to the Savannah River Street area - a destination stop in southeast Georgia for many tourists. Through detailed interviews with more than 100 contacts in the Savannah tourism industry it is evident that community support for a GRNMS outreach project is overwhelmingly positive and the community looks to continue to follow the progress made on the project. This Market Study is intended to become a supporting document for a future Facility Strategy for the Savannah Outreach Project. Project Vision, Goals, and Objectives Several items were deemed as important visions for this project and goals for the Savannah Outreach project: The message will continue to be an outlet for the “One NOAA” concept and the overarching conservation message of the National Marine Sanctuary System. Reach two primary markets – both tourists and residents and make the educational experience available to everyone. Examine all options and locations for downtown outreach opportunities. Increase support of Gray’s Reef, NOAA, and ocean stewardship through education, exhibits, and programming. Provide interactive exhibits linking people of all ages to the ocean. “We need more people to become aware of our mission.” Make the National Marine Sanctuary System virtually available to everyone by making it possible for people to see all of the sites. Facility Programming and Consulting Savannah Outreach Market Study Final– April 2010 NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuary Page 1.3 Executive Summary Project Location The proposed location for the Savannah Outreach project is in downtown Savannah, GA. While the original preferred location was in the River Street area, a popular tourist location near the Savannah River, several other areas were identified as possible locations and/or partnerships during the market research phase. The boundaries of Downtown Savannah are identified below. River Street Savannah River Highway 17 Martin Luther King Blvd. Broad Street Forsythe Park Figure 4: Downtown

CONTROLS ON SALTWATER INTRUSION IN A SHALLOW COASTAL AQUIFER: WORMSLOE HISTORIC SITE, GA by MARSHALL WILLIAMS Under the Direction of Brian K. Meyer, PhD ABSTRACT The Wormsloe Historic site is situated on a barrier island located off the Georgia Coast. Four shallow monitoring wells were installed in an east-west transect to monitor the surficial aquifer for saltwater intrusion and to find what factors were most strongly controlling it. Previous studies have found strong indications for saltwater intrusion along the east coast, particularly in areas where the underlying Floridan aquifer has been extensively pumped. Temperature and conductivity data gathered show evidence for the lateral movement of saltwater into the surficial aquifer moving inland from a saline marsh, while tidal, precipitation, and Ground Penetrating Radar data reveal the timing and controls of it. Integration of the multiple lines of evidence indicates risks whereby lateral saltwater intrusion could eventually be conveyed downward under continued sea level rise, with the potential to impact the Upper Floridan aquifer or the regions potable water aquifer in the future.

    42 Promoting Collaborative Geodesign in a Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Environment: Coastal Georgia 2050, USA Rosanna RIVERO1, Alison SMITH2, Hrishikesh BALLAL3 and Carl STEINITZ3,4 1College of Environment and Design, University of Georgia, USA · [email protected] 2College of Environment and Design, University of Georgia, USA 3Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, UK 4Graduate School of Design, Harvard University, USA Abstract This paper summarizes the process and results from a three-day geodesign workshop con- ducted in Athens, Georgia, USA, involving the application of a digital design online workflow that enables rapid, real time geodesign collaboration. Twenty five participants, from a variety of disciplines, organizations, and interests, were involved in producing a single negotiated and agreed design, from a series of conceptual designs that were created and evaluated at two scales: a county and a historic site scale. A coastal county (Chatham, GA), where the historic city of Savannah is located, and a historic site (Wormsloe), were both the subject of study. Scenarios for 2030 and 2050 were studied by participants, based on expected changes from large projects such as the $706 million Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP), long term changes from climate (sea level rise, natural hazards), and increasing tourists and visitors to the Wormsloe Historic Site. During the workshop, the online application facilitated the process of visualizing and comparing the different models following STEINITZ’ geodesign framework (representation, evaluation, change, impact, and decision models), as well as engaging in negotiation and decision-making among different interest group teams. 1 Introduction Geodesign borrows from a number of different domains: architecture, engineering, land- scape architecture, urban planning, traditional sciences etc.
