And the Coastlands Wait
A broad-based coalition of conservative southern politicians, countercultural activists, environmental scientists, sportsmen, devout Christians, garden clubs in Atlanta, and others came together to push the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970 through the Georgia state legislature. It set a foundation that would lead to the thoughtful use of the state's coastal resources still relevant today.And the Coastlands Wait is the history of this legislative act, as told by St. The law was a first-in-the-nation bill to save the marshes of a state from mining and aggressive development and was a political watershed that reflected the changing nature of the state.
Harris served as head of the environmental section of Governor Jimmy Carter's Goals for Georgia program and later as chairman of the governor's State Simons lawyer and leader of the coalition, Reid Harris.
