Join us for a Volunteer Open House at the UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium on September 6 from 2 to 5 p.m.
Prospective volunteers can drop in free of charge during event hours. Visitors will have a chance to peek behind-the-scenes, tour teaching labs, and talk with current volunteers and employees.
This is a great way to learn about the many volunteer opportunities available, including aquarium husbandry, aquarium docents, teaching assistants, phytoplankton monitoring, and more.

Ever wonder why certain large-scale projects take longer to prepare for than others? Or why engineering/consultation services are required? Large-scale projects that involve community paths, roads, and lagoon structures can take one-to-three years to prepare for, while the purchase of fleet or other smaller equipment items (e.g., carvewright machine, HVACs, generators, etc.) can take as little as two-to-four months of preparation.
The second annual Marina Day took place on Saturday, August 4. Despite the heat, Marina Day proved to be a fun and exciting event for all who attended. This year, a strong focus on boater safety was covered concerning flares.
Year-to-Date July Performance and our Fall Marketing Plans
As I reported in July’s Landings Journal, our new marketing firm, Wyse Advertising, began working with us on June 1 and on our digital campaign on June 18. Remarkably and right “out of the gate” we had 91 Discovery Visit registrations generated from our new Discovery Visit landing page, and since then, things only seem to be getting better.
This will accentuate our year-to-date performance:
If April showers bring May flowers, then summer storms bring mosquitos! The almost daily afternoon rain this year has caused mosquito populations to rise higher than average.
