Although the Bo Ginn Fish Hatchery has been idle for many years, the Georgia Southern Department of Biology will soon put it to use to conduct cutting-edge research. The university signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to allow GSU biology students and faculty to use the facility, located in Magnolia Springs Park near Millen, as a resource to better understand the future of ecosystems in the southeastern U.S. Lance McBrayer, associate dean for Research in the College of Science and Mathematics, said the university is excited to work with the Fish and Wildlife Service. “Our relationship with USFWS and the Bo Ginn Hatchery will substantially increase the research infrastructure available to our faculty and students.”
