Community Updates What's the Hook? Awards A seafood pitch competition launched by UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant will award funding to seven projects that support Georgia’s working waterfronts and seafood products. The competition, called What’s the Hook?, is funded by the National Sea Grant College Program and is designed to help individuals and businesses in the seafood industry recover from economic disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, small business owners, university professionals and non-profit organizations presented their ideas to a committee representing diverse businesses, cultures, and communities in coastal Georgia. The projects selected for funding were awarded based on their ability to promote Georgia’s unique coastal seafood-related experiences, build the resilience of Georgia’s working waterfronts, strengthen Georgia’s local seafood and tourism-related industries, and assist businesses with redefining their operations or business models in response to the pandemic. The full list of awardees include: Oyster Trail Development – Patrick Holladay, Georgia Grown Trail 17 The Agnes Marie Experience – Don McGraw, Coco’s Tybee Island Coastal Georgia Aquaculture Exhibit & Tours – Charlie Phillips, Sapelo Sea Farms, Phillips Seafood & The Fish Dock Bar & Grill Georgia Seafood On My Mind! – Bob Pinckney, UGA Entrepreneurship Program A Catalyst for Coastal Seafood Eco-Tourism – Alex Smetana, Darien-McIntosh County Chamber of Commerce The Darien Social Relaunch – Amy Spinks, The Darien Social More From the Shore – Marty Williams, God’s Oceans, LLC More information about the projects, including the videos of the pitches are available at gacoast.uga.edu/whats-the-hook/
