1 Turkey Fountain Way Sapelo Island, GA, 31327 United StatesThe University of Georgia Marine Institute (UGAMI), established in 1953, lies on a barrier island situated between the Atlantic Ocean and a pristine salt marsh-dominated estuarine ecosystem. The mission of the Institute is to support and conduct basic research on coastal processes involving the unique ecosystems of the Georgia coastline. UGAMI’s mission is also to provide access and facilities for graduate and undergraduate classes to experience field research and gain an appreciation of the Georgia coast. As a research facility literally embedded in the ecosystem of focus, UGAMI distinguishes itself with a long history of coastal research by resident and visiting researchers in a broad range of disciplines. As a result, significant contributions have been made to the understanding of the links between uplands and salt marsh estuaries to the coastal zone. UGAMI lies on Sapelo Island, a barrier island accessed from Meridian, Georgia by a passenger ferry which is run by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources 3 times per day (20 – 30 minutes between Meridian and Sapelo). UGAMI has a long-term lease for facilities totaling 1500 acres on the south end of Sapelo Island within and bordering the NOAA Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve (SINERR). The facility is very unique in its situation of relatively pristine surroundings, as well as the designation of the surrounding marshes as a NOAA SINERR (Fig. 1). This is a fortuitous and productive research situation. The remaining 2/3 of Sapelo Island are managed by the Georgia DNR as a Wildlife Management Area. There are approximately 100 full time residents on Sapelo Island, including UGAMI personnel, DNR personnel, and the small Hog Hammock community. Hog Hammock (500 acres) is the only privately owned property on Sapelo Island. Hog Hammock is a community of descendents of African-American plantation workers, and many members of the community are employed by UGAMI. UGAMI, Hog Hammock and the Georgia DNR have a long history of cooperation on Sapelo Island.

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
