This is a category named: CCA Georgia

Through our education and fundraising efforts, CCA Skidaway and CCA Georgia have partnered with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Resources Division, to establish and enhance a number of artificial reefs along the Georgia Coast. The Georgia coast underwater environment mostly consists of sand and sea water, with few rock outcroppings. Hard surfaces are needed to enable the establishment of thriving reef ecosystems; they can’t happen on shifting sands. This video gives a bit of insight into the impact of these projects!

A slideshow of photos from the May 28, 2023 Kids’ Fishing Derby. The Derby planned for Saturday May 27 was postponed one day due to a heavy tropical depression that had brought bands of heavy rain to the entire southeast coast for days. Fortunately, the weather cooperated for Sunday May 28 and a great derby was had by all!

“Always be Yourself Unless You Can Be a Turtle” was featured at the Saturday, Sept 24th Cast Away Club Event. The Skidaway Island Audubon Diamondback Terrapin Rescue program has a huge following here on the Island. The rescue program is led by an enthusiastic group of Audubon Volunteers who monitor the nesting, relocation of eggs and release of the baby turtles here on the island. There were live baby turtles for everyone to touch and hold. Kids also learned how the mama turtles dig their nests, lay their eggs, and finally cover up the nest to protect their eggs. That is when the rescue program begins. After the session kids and their parents had an opportunity to fish together from 9:30 until 11:00. Rods, reels and bait, were provided by Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Skidaway. Our Google Photos album for the event is below.

This year we will be conducting our Electro- Fishing project on March 8th and 9th.Electro -Fishing is one of the tools we use to determine the health of our lagoon which we use for stocking in April. Using a boat that sends a a slight shock to the water we scoop fish, weigh, measure, and release.   Anyone interested in watching or participating please send an e-mail to Rich Hackett at Richard.j.hackett@gmail.com or call 922-598-9185 and you will be included. We will meet at The Public Works building each day of the event at 8:30. We plan to shock 15 lagoons each day and will take most of the day. Please arrive in a golf cart if possible and bring your lagoon guide if you have one. You may watch or help scoop as time permits Rich Hackett Richard.j.hackett@gmail.com H 922-598-9185C 330-564-8971
