Georgia Ports - Preserving Wetlands Slides
1. 9 ACRES
of diverse wetlands (at the
Garden City Terminal) are
protected by the GPA.
By directing runoff into wetlands, GPA removes multiple types of pollutants
while providing flood control and habitat protection.
2. 16 UNITS
Silt suspension units are online at the
Garden City Terminal, substantially
reducing the need for maintenance
dredging at the berths.
The silt suspension units produce a low-velocity flow to keep water moving
and reduce siltation that would need to be dredged.
3. 212,000
Turtle hatchlings have been
released into the ocean
thanks to the Caretta
Research Project, a study
sponsored by GPA.
GPA is dedicated to protecting right whales and loggerhead turtles, and to protecting
and preserving tidal marshes.
4. 1,000 ACRES
Runoff from 1,000 acres is treated by GPA’s
storm water system, which captures sediment
and pollutants.
The storm water master plan includes best management practices, reducing
sediment, total suspended solids, oil and nutrients.
