| Zusammenfassung: | "A broad-based coalition of conservative southern politicians, countercultural activists, environmental scientists, sportsmen, devout Christians, garden clubs in Atlanta, and others came together to push the Coastal Marshland Protection Act of 1970 through the Georgia state legislature. The law was on a first-in-the-nation bill to save the marshes of the state from mining and aggressive development and was a political watershed which reflected the changing nature of the state and set a foundation that would lead to the thoughtful use of the state's coastal resources still relevant today. Led by St. Simons lawyer, Reid Harris, the coalition backed an act that set up a permitting process to control development and protect 500,000 acres of marshland. That coalition did not survive for long. It was a magical moment in the history of conservation, when allies as diverse as deeply conservative Governor Lester Maddox and an Atlanta hippie stood together"-- |

McMillan III. "A broad-based coalition of conservative southern politicians, countercultural activists, environmental scientists, sportsmen, devout Christians, garden clubs in Atlanta, and others came together to push the Coastal Marshland Protection Act of 1970 through the Georgia state legislature. The law was on a first-in-the-nation bill to save the marshes of the state from mining and aggressive development and was a political watershed which reflected the changing nature of the state and set a foundation that would lead to the thoughtful use of the state's coastal resources still relevant today. Led by St. Simons lawyer, Reid Harris, the coalition backed an act that set up a permitting process to control development and protect 500,000 acres of marshland. That coalition did not survive for long. It was a magical moment in the history of conservation, when allies as diverse as deeply conservative Governor Lester Maddox and an Atlanta hippie stood together"-- Provided by publisher. REID W. HARRIS was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1964 and served for six years. During this time he was the principal author of several laws concerning conservation of the coastlands, including the Georgia Surface Mining Act and the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act.
