Coastal Georgia Marine Ecology Fund
Supporting Ecological Research and Student Learning
The Coastal Georgia Marine Ecology Fund was established in the Fall of 2017 by Jeb Byers to sustain his and his students’ research across coastal Georgia.
James “Jeb” Byers is an Associate Dean at the Odum School of Ecology and a Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Ecology.
"An immersive, hands-on experience in research can transform a student's life. It often is the critical event that can set a student down a path of lifelong passion and commitment to scientific discovery."
Learn more about Dr. Byers and his students on the Byers’ Lab website.
The Coastal Georgia Marine Ecology Fund provides the resources for continued immersive research experiences for students and assists in furthering the study of invasive species, shellfish health, marine parasites and disturbances to coastal habitats.
With your help, students are able to dive head-first into research, developing methods, ideas and techniques to address pressing ecological issues. Thank you for your support.
