Join us in sharing a massive CONGRATS to Sarah Cantwell, our Coastal Conservation Coordinator, for winning 1ST PLACE in the Coastal Collaboration Pitch Competition at the State of the Georgia Coast Conference!

🎉 Sarah won $10,000 for her pitch centered around Osprey productivity monitoring across coastal Georgia. Ospreys have recently experienced severe declines along the mid- and north Atlantic coasts. Here in Georgia, we have limited information about Osprey breeding locations, reproductive success, and long-term population trends. Sarah’s project would involve Birds Georgia working with partners and coastal communities to establish a standardized Osprey monitoring program. The program would map breeding territories and track reproductive success over time, helping fill important gaps in our understanding of Georgia’s Osprey population. Thank you to @gacoast.uga for this opportunity, and another huge congrats to Sarah for her vision and passion for Georgia’s coastal birds!
