📰 News we're reading
• Aug 17-22 2026 • Page 2 of 2 • The Georgia Virtue (thegeorgiavirtue.com) — Brunswick residents can now see fresh health inspection scores for local favorites like McDonald’s and Waffle House on New Jesup Highway, several taquerias, Downtown Nutrition, and multiple neighborhood and hotel pools. Scores from August 17–20, 2026, show most locations in the 90s, but a few pools and eateries scored lower, giving you a clearer picture of local food and water safety. 
• Georgia Restaurants Must Start Disclosing Foreign Shrimp on Menus by January (kicks99.com) — A new Georgia law will soon require restaurants to clearly label imported shrimp, a change local shrimper John Wallace of Brunswick’s Anchored Shrimp Company believes will help the struggling domestic fleet. Starting in January, diners must be told when shrimp isn’t from U.S. waters, amid safety concerns and intense price pressure that have left longtime Brunswick shrimpers earning less than decades ago.
• Georgia Department of Natural Resources seeks applicants for Coastal Advisory Council (griceconnect.com) — If you work in science or regional planning and live near Brunswick, the Georgia DNR wants applicants for two seats on its Coastal Advisory Council, which guides coastal conservation and grant priorities.
