The Education section of our website now provides expanded information about the Habitats of Georgia. There are online slide shows (Mountains, Piedmont, Swamp, Coast, and Ocean) which highlight the plants, animals, and important environmental issues for each habitat type. A Google Earth interactive map guides users to natural areas typical of the habitats, including Georgia's state parks.

Georgia ranks in the top five U.S. States for freshwater fish diversity, but to our knowledge lacks a statewide distributional atlas. This distributional atlas will provide up-to-date distributions of the 300+ freshwater fishes of Georgia for government, educational and public use. The website will also contain photos, distributional notes, and taxonomic information for each species.
