Unit Plan for the Altamaha River Watershed: Estuaries

Produced for Summit to the Sea, a collaborative environmental education project initiated by the University of Georgia's School of Marine Sciences and Institute of Ecology and supported by the Sapelo Foundation and The Nature Conservancy. We intend to produce Unit Plans for other sections of the watershed.

Grade Level: This material addresses Georgia QCC's of 7th and 8th grade, but the material would be appropriate for high school biology and environmental science classes. Additional information can be found on pages in the Summit to the Sea General Interest and Technical sections.
