• A lifetime studying Cumberland Island, a new fight over its future (roughdraftatlanta.com) — Proposed National Park Service changes to Cumberland Island could significantly boost daily visitors and, in turn, business activity in St. Marys, the island’s main gateway. Conservation advocates, including longtime resident-naturalist Carol Ruckdeschel, worry higher visitation and new home sites may harm the island’s fragile ecosystems, while federal officials argue the plan balances access, private property rights, and long-term environmental protection.
