  • Waccamaw River Blue Trail
    ABOUT THE WACCAMAW RIVER BLUE TRAIL The Waccamaw River Blue Trail extends the entire length of the river in North and South Carolina. Beginning near Lake Waccamaw, a permanently inundated Carolina Bay, the river meanders through the Waccamaw River Heritage Preserve, City of Conway, and Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge before merging with the Intracoastal Waterway where it passes historic rice fields, Brookgreen Gardens, Sandy Island, and ends at Winyah Bay near Georgetown. Over 140 miles of river invite the paddler to explore its unique natural, historical and cultural features. Its black waters, cypress swamps and tidal marshes are home to many rare species of plants and animals. The river is also steeped in history with Native American settlements, Civil War sites, rice and indigo plantations, which highlight the Gullah-Geechee culture, as well as many historic homes, churches, shops, and remnants of industries that were once served by steamships. To protect this important natural resource, American Rivers, Waccamaw RIVERKEEPER®, and many local partners worked together to establish the Waccamaw River Blue Trail, providing greater access to the river and its recreation opportunities. A Blue Trail is a river adopted by a local community that is dedicated to improving family-friendly recreation such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching and to conserving riverside land and water resources. Just as hiking trails are designed to help people explore the land, Blue Trails help people discover their rivers. They help communities improve recreation and tourism, benefit local businesses and the economy, and protect river health for the benefit of people, wildlife, and future generations.

  • Lowcountry Spring 2016 Newsletter
    OUTH AROLINA S C N ATIVE PLANT SOCIETY SPRING 2016 LOWCOUNTRY CHAPTER NEWSLETTER, VOL. 18, Issue 2, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 Happy New Year! I can hardly wait to break into my spring garden, and fortunately we have multiple opportunities ahead this spring to help you be the best gardener possible. Join us in February for a hands-on workshop on invasive and native plant identification and management at Charles Towne Landing. In our April lecture, local landscape architect J.R. Kramer will tell us about incorporating native plants in innovative ways into our developed landscapes. Plan to bring some inspiration from Brookgreen Gardens home with you after our special guided tour led by one of the staff horticulturalists. And don’t forget to mark your calendars now for our annual spring plant sale on March 19! I am excited to announce that we awarded our first community project grant ($500) in the fall to James B. Edwards Elementary School. The money will help students purchase supplies to erect a hoop house on the school grounds. They plan to use this facility to grow various native plants as well as spartina grass for the Seeds to Shoreline Program. Native plants will be grown within the house to be transplanted into the school garden to promote indigenous fauna and teach sustainable ecosystems. The spartina grass will be transplanted into receding estuary coastlines to reverse negative human impacts and promote new growth and niches. Our next Community Project Grant will be awarded in March – please feel free to contact me with questions about the application (or see information on page 3 of this newsletter).

  • South Carolina Coastal Zone Management Act (Pt. 2
    chapter IV -------------- special management areas A. GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN 1. Introduction Statutory Requirements The Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, while recognizing the entire coastal zone of each state as an important and vital resource, also declares that certain areas are of even more, special significance, and warrant particular attention to their preservation and development. The Act requires, in Section 305(B)(3), that each state inventory and designate the"Areas of Particular Concern" within its coastal zone as part of the state's program. Section 923.21 of the Coastal Zone Management Development and Approval Regulations (Federal Register, Vol. 44, No. 61, March 1979) defines the Federal requirements for Geographic Areas of Particular Concern (GAPCs). The subsection reads as follows: (a) Requirement. In order to meet the requirements of subsections 305(b) (3) & (5) of the Act, States must: (1) Designate geographic areas that are of particular concern, on a generic or site-specific basis or both; (2) Describe the nature of the concern and the basis on which designations are made; (3) Describe how the management program addresses and resolves the concerns for which areas are designated; and (4) Provide guidelines regarding priorities of uses in these areas, including guidelines on uses of lowest priority. The major emphasis in the GAPC segment of a coastal management program, from the Federal viewpoint, is on the adequacy of the State's authority to manage those areas or sites which have been identified. To a lesser extent, the reasons specific areas are significant as coastal resources and the criteria which establish this significance are also important for inclusion.
