    • Georgia Oyster Reef Habitat 2015

    Metadata Updated: December 19, 2025

    These data represent oyster reefs in Georgia's coastal waterways, extending from Chatham County south to Glynn County. A pilot project for certain coastal regions was completed in 2013, with the remaining project areas finished in 2015. This mapping project was conducted under contract to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources with the goal of inventorying oyster reefs in Georgia's coastal waterways.

    Oyster reef extent polygons were created through heads-up digitization using 4-band, 6-inch resolution DMC digital aerial imagery as the source. This imagery was collected between November 2012 and February 2013. The minimum mapping unit is 5 square meters, though discretion was used to collect features smaller than this.
