Do you know where flooding is a problem in West Ashley or James Island?

Come out this week to talk with the Army Corps of Engineers and City of Charleston staff as they explore federal flooding solutions for these communities. Your input will help guide the outcome of the Tideland and Inland Feasibility study to reflect local needs, and identify different structural, non-structural and nature-based solutions to reduce the risk of flood damages.

Join us and our very special guest speaker Captain John Irwin! We can't wait to share the importance of waterway stewardship and supporting your estuary through sustainable and smart practices.

This is a unique opportunity to explore the Kiawah River during the most beautiful time of year and we are thrilled to invite you to the The Willet Room at The Dunlin for pre-boat cocktails as a part of the adventure!

We hope you had a fun and safe Labor Day!

Last week, we were happy to report some of the best results we've seen all season ahead of your holiday weekend! Filbin Creek, the Ashley River at Northbridge Park, and upper Shem Creek were the only sites in the red, but were notably on the lower side of what we consider 'high' results.

Curious about the trends we're seeing this year compared to past seasons? Our team caught up with Charleston City Paper in recap of Swim Alert's last few months. Take a minute to read up: https://bit.ly/4xfmz6r

From picking up trash to counting plastic pollution to casting a line for clean water, we’ve got a full month of ways to show some love for your estuary!

Roll up your sleeves and help keep litter out of your waterways and communities with cleanups at Hendricks Park and the annual Beach Sweep/River Sweep. Take a cruise on the Kiawah River with a lesson in waterway stewardship, or find us kicking back at the Lady Red Rendezvous weekend alongside Marsh Wear later this month. Plus, Trash Pickin’ Tuesdays with SCORE are back!
