SAVE THE DATE FOR NMEA 2008! July 21-25, 2008 • Savannah, Georgia • Savannah Riverfront Marriott
The Georgia Association of Marine Education (GAME) graciously invites you to spend a week in coastal Georgia with marine education enthusiasts from around the nation, July 21-25, 2008. Come learn, explore, and dance with us!
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 http://nmeaweb.org for updated information about NMEA 2008.
