A broad-based coalition of supporters came together to push the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970 through the Georgia state legislature. The law was a first-in-the-US bill to save the marshes of a state from mining and development. This book is the history of this legislative act, as told by the leader of the coalition, Reid Harris.
