Protect Cumberland Island

PCI is a grassroots campaign to create awareness of the threats that the proposed #SpaceportCamden presents to the #CumberlandIsland National Seashore.

@denisechow @NBCNews has shined a light on such much of what’s wrong with @CamdenSpaceport. Read to learn more about @NelsonAerospace @Spaceport_NM @midlandairport #cumberlandisland #littlecumberlandisland #saynotospaceportcamden #georgiacoast https://t.co/42kergSNb6

A storm brewing over the proposed #spaceportcamden site. @DowNewsroom stood up and said the Woodbine land deal is off. #doingtherightthing #bravo

[UGA Law First Amendment Clinic @UGA1stAmClinic]

The Clinic asks the Georgia Supreme Court to affirm a March 2022 voter referendum vetoing Camden County’s purchase of land to build a controversial Spaceport that would launch commercial rockets over Cumberland Island National Seashore.

Take a read from @ben_a_goldfarb about bobcats on #Cumberland and the ecological chain reaction. Thanks for highlighting @NPCA https://t.co/3c2qiaSrq1

"To Queen Quet, they are monuments 'that speak to the strife, the wherewithal, and the knowledge' of her ancestors. The praise house on Cumberland sits almost directly beneath Spaceport Camden’s rocket trajectory." #gapol @GullahGeechee #CumberlandIsland

This fact should have come up in the first meeting of @CamdenCountyGA and the @FAANews. It would have saved a lot of time and money. "Launching orbital rockets over populated areas is done in Russia and China, but not in the US." #spaceport #gapol #spaceportcamden #CommonSense

“I can’t understand how our local gov't, state gov't & federal gov't could use a national park as a debris field. Could you imagine them using Yellowstone for something like this?” https://t.co/3KjMz4ca81

[SELC @selc_org]

Without disclosing the risks, #SpaceportCamden wants to barrel ahead with untested plans to launch spacecraft over homes on Georgia's coast and a National Seashore, @CumberlandIslNP. https://t.co/BKRSPxnrSO @100MilesGA @IslandProtect

Thank you @nytimes and @alexmarvar for highlighting our fight to stop @CamdenCountyGA and the @FAANews from turning Georgia's #GoldenIsles into the "silicon marsh." https://t.co/DbJ5FoEppp

Today’s #spaceport news for ⁦@Marketplace⁩:

How should the FAA regulate commercial spaceflight?

A view on that question from Camden County, Georgia.

#gapol https://t.co/1EgrZoBoms

[Protect Cumberland Island @IslandProtect]

@FARB_ORG The question is how can they regulate properly when also mandated to promote?

[Aria Ritz Finkelstein (coastofbohemia.bsky.social) @AhhReeUhh]

Thank you @selc, @GAconservancy, and @SatillaRK for walking us through the risks of building #SpaceportCamden, a proposed private launch site on the Georgia Coast, and the serious problems with its EIS. https://t.co/0T7M3xzGAT

[Protect Cumberland Island @IslandProtect]

It’s harder to get a permit to build a dock than to get permission to use 2,700 acres of state-owned marsh as a debris field for #spaceportcamden DNR uses the excuse that Georgia laws don’t contemplate rocket launches.

[WABE News @wabenews]

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has given its approval to the Federal Aviation Administration (@FAANews) for a proposed spaceport on Georgia’s coast.

@mikesara444 @FAANews @FAA_Steve Yes! And this license is for the first ever rockets launching OVER a national park, 70+ private homes, lots of people, endangered species, and congressionally desig Wilderness. According to the dEIS, there was no impact at all. None whatsoever.

[Protect Cumberland Island @IslandProtect]

@SaportaReport highlights the lack of common sense & dishonesty of #spaceportcamden. On the very 1st mtg, the @FAANews could have just looked at a map to see the site isn't on the ocean like @CamdenCountyGA claimed. #rocketlaunch #SpaceFlight #aerospace
