Corps teaches 120 third graders "Regulatory 101"
SAVANNAH, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District gave presentations to 120 third graders at Marshpoint Elementary about the Corps' Regulatory Program. Regulatory Specialist Brian Moore used an interactive floodplain model to demonstrate how wetlands absorb storm water and filter drinking water. He also explained the Corps of Engineers' role in issuing permits for developers or citizens who want to build projects on or near streams and wetlands. Regulatory Specialist Donald Hendrix showed the students a variety of animal items—snake skins, furs, deer antlers, and sharks teeth—to demonstrate the various animals and habitat within Georgia. The visit was part of a unit of study about Georgia's ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation efforts. USACE photo by George Jumara.
