NMEA 2008: One World, One Water, will team cutting-edge research with
innovative education. Come celebrate the exciting field of marine science
and Georgia’s take on marine education and collaboration. Plunge into Ocean
Literacy, The International Year of the Reef, southeastern estuarine
ecosystems and local fisheries. Fresh and salt water mingle where land meets
sea in Savannah. Experience the Georgia coast as the locals do. Breathe in
the sweet salt marsh and go with the flow of the tides. Paddle a tidal creek
or cast net for Wild Georgia Shrimp. Experience the broad sandy beaches of
nearby Tybee Island. Explore Georgia’s wild barrier islands or stroll
through Historic Downtown Savannah.
Savannah sits in the middle of the
South Atlantic Bight and is the western most point along the entire eastern
shoreline of North America. You can sleep later here than anywhere else on
the Atlantic Coast and still catch some of the most beautiful sunrises in
the world. Georgia’s largest port city and crown jewel of the state’s
Coastal Empire sits on a bluff above the great Savannah River. Old and new
overlap here; tradition and innovation dance together in Savannah’s
communities. Founded by General James Oglethorpe in 1733, Savannah has
earned her reputation as the Hostess City of the South through hospitality
as deep as the Savannah River is long. Her patchwork history includes the
colonial period, cotton and rice culture, shrimp fisheries, fine arts,
tourism, historic preservation and conservation.
We guarantee a one of a kind conference with hundreds of your colleagues,
old friends and new acquaintances. Visit the conference website at
