 Save money, protect water quality, wildlife and special habitats, reduce the effects of storms and flooding, and just create great places to live and work!
As coastal Georgia experiences unprecedented pressure from growth and development, strategies are needed to protect the world class natural resources that enrich and inspire our lives and that draw us to visit and live on the Georgia coast. The Coastal Management Program of the Georgia DNR, the Coastal RDC and EMC Engineering have partnered in producing a practical guide to designing with our coastal landscape. Techniques such a site fingerprinting, low impact development practices, alternative stormwater and bank stabilization techniques are detailed.
This guide is intended for the development community, engineers and land planners, local governments, natural resource managers, conservation advocates as well as for our citizenry. The economic benefits of conservation development are analyzed and presented. The results are increased sales and prices for the lots and houses in a conservation community coupled with lower costs for the developer and the local government in both the installation and maintenance of infrastructure. The benefits to our lives include great spaces to live and work with abundant and diverse wildlife, plants and habitats with clean water to protect public health.
