GCE-LTER Comprehensive Species List
Scope of the List: This is a partial listing of common species that occur in the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research Project study domain. The list has been constructed mainly from anecdotal observations at monitoring sites but also includes species which are likely to occur but which have not been observed directly. This listing is generated dynamically from the GCE Taxonomic Database, which is maintained and updated periodically by the contributors listed below.
List Contributors:
Thomas Dale Bishop, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia
Steven Y. Newell, University of Georgia Marine Institute, Sapelo Island, Georgia
Steven C. Pennings, University of Houston, Houston, Texas
Caroline M. Reddy, University of Georgia, Sapelo Island, Georgia
Additional Resources: You can also find species known from the GCE domain by searching the i-naturalist “place” for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER. As of 2025, there are over 20,000 observations of over 3,000 species from the GCE domain. You can use the “filters” tab to narrow the list to a few broad taxonomic categories.
