  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Cumberland Island   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Cumberland Island, composed of Great and Little Cumberland islands, is the largest and southernmost in a chain of barrier islands extending the length of Georgia, known collectively as the Sea Islands or sometimes as Georgia's Golden Isles.
The island, marsh, and estuary system, a major ecological feature of the Sea Islands, is brilliantly displayed at Cumberland, because in more than 350 years there has been little disturbance.
Proposals for the commercial and recreational development of the islands have stimulated intense controversy in the state legislature, in local press and national magazines, and at public hearings.

The 6,300-acre Pleistocene island is defined by the Wilmington River to the north, Skidaway Narrows to the west, the Vernon River to the south, and Romerly Marsh and Wassaw Island to the east.
Skidaway was no exception, and various northern interests gained control of the island in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography came into existence in the late 1960s due to a donation of 680 acres of land from Robert Roebling and the strong interest from scientists at the University of Georgia in creating an educational arm to study the natural processes of the coast and ocean.

 Applied Coastal Research Laboratory
Georgia's barrier islands average about 8 km in length which contrasts markedly with those further to the north and south on the Georgia Bight which attain average lengths of as much as 38 km (Brown, 1977; Hayes, 1994).
Georgia's coast is an ideal "field laboratory" within which to study coastal evolution in a tide-dominated setting, both under natural conditions and under conditions of limited coastal engineering and/or renourishment.
Georgia's seven other islands are either state, federal, or non-profit foundation-owned islands and are not as critically in need of baseline data due to the lack of infrastructure at risk from coastal erosion.
