	Altamaha River :: Lumber City - Darien, Georgia
		In 1999 the Mexico-based Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network recognized the Altamaha River Delta in Glynn and McIntosh Counties as a major reserve for shorebirds, one of only 40, highlighting its importance as a stopover for migratory and wintering birds traveling between the Artic and South America.
		Focusing on the Altamaha River's complex system of water movement, this study will help to clarify relationships between intertidal creeks and marshes as well as long term trends in land use patterns and the withdrawal of freshwater from the watershed.
		The Altamaha River is a little known paradise for paddling, bird watching, camping, fishing, powerboating, and hiking.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Altamaha River
		The Altamaha River basin drains nearly one quarter of the state of Georgia, with its 14,000-square-mile watershed reaching from the upper Piedmont to the Lower Coastal Plain and encompassing the cities of Athens, Macon, Milledgeville, and parts of Atlanta.
		The river and its floodplain swamps and marshes are among the most undisturbed habitats in the state, although increasing population in the Coastal Plain and pressure from development are threatening their pristine nature.
		This estuary, where the freshwater from the river mixes with saltwater from the Atlantic, occupies an area of roughly twenty-six square miles in Glynn and McIntosh counties in southeastern Georgia and is arguably the largest intact, relatively undegraded estuary system on the Atlantic coast.

	The Nature Conservancy in Georgia - The Altamaha River
		Unhampered by dams, the Altamaha River winds 137 miles from the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers to its coastal terminus near the historic fishing town of Darien.
		Encompassing 1.2 million acres and spanning 10 rural south Georgia counties, the Altamaha River watershed is one of the three largest river basins on the Atlantic Seaboard, draining approximately one-quarter the state of Georgia.
		Although The Nature Conservancy began to actively protect land in the Altamaha watershed in the late 1960s, the organization's focus on large landscape-scale protection efforts encouraged the formation of the Altamaha River Bioreserve project in 1991.

	Altamaha River Information
		The Altamaha River is a major river of the US state of Georgia, and its 37,600 km² (14,500 sq mi) watershed is the second largest in the eastern United States.
		The Altamaha river proper begins at the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers, in the area south of Vidalia, and it runs southeast for about 140 miles (220 km), collecting the Ohoopee River and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Brunswick.
		Although used in the 19th century as a route for commerce between central Georgia and the coast, the river is nearly entirely still in its natural state, and was designated a bioreserve by The Nature Conservancy in 1991.
