Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp a is 438,000-acre National Wildlife Refuge located in the southeast part of the state. It is the largest blackwater swamp in the United States and one of the state's Seven Natural Wonders. Home to a variety of rare plant and animal species including the red-cockaded woodpecker, the indigo snake, and the wood stork, the Okefenokee is truly a national treasure! But its future is at risk. Mining operations around the swamp threaten its waters and are increasing wildfire risk. The Georgia General Assembly must act now to safeguard this sacred place. Send a message to your legislators—stand up for the Okefenokee!

Approximately 80-100 miles off the Georgia coast lies the largest known deep-water coral reef on Earth, in a part of the Atlantic Ocean known as Blake Plateau. The continuous 300-mile-long dense coral highway dubbed “Million Mounds” supports a trove of biodiversity. As industries look farther offshore for fishing, fossil fuel development, and mineral extraction, ensuring the continuation of this vital ecological community will require dedicated attention and increased conservation measures. Advocate for permanent protections within the Blake Plateau!
