On Monday, June 2, 2014, St. Marys City Council voted, unanimously, to reinstate the 25 ft marsh buffer protection that was so inexplicably eradicated by the Ga EPD on April 22, 2014.
Our sincere thanks to Council for, once again, stepping forth to ensure that the rare and fragile marsh ecosystems are afforded protection. The marshes of Georgia are not only precious to our area but are vital in terms of mitigating erosion, storm surges, and sea level rise. It is our sincere hope that all communities throughout Georgia will take similar steps to safeguard the marshes that grace our coast.
