"This workshop has provided us with important information to assist in re-coding zoning and help us to plan for growth."

-Workshop Participant

Sapelo Island CTP facilitates dialogue between city and county elected officials and the research and education community to help translate science to management. CTP has been able to build a trust in the local community to be a source of non-biased and current scientific information to help communities protect their natural resources and plan for growth.
