Thanks to cartoonist Sam Rawls, Remember Jekyll Island includes some of his insightful cartoons about Jekyll Island.

This cartoon reminds us that the battle to keep extensive development from Jekyll Island State Park is not over.

Currently, the Jekyll Island Authority is reviewing proposals from developers to create a "Beach Village." This "village" includes a much larger convention center, boutique retail, and loft apartments. In Remember Jekyll Island, you will learn from public land economist and expert Dr. John Loomis (Colorado State University) that creating private residences in a state park removes public land from public access. It, in effect, privatizes a portion of public land. This, according to Dr. Loomis, goes against all recent trends and best practices in park management.
