Seabrook Island, supported by KDP, have applied to move the channel at the end of Captain Sam's Spit from its current position and recut
it farther east directly through protected bird habitat area. This critical area is home to the Piping Plover for 11 months of the year and is currently the nesting area
for the Wilsons Plover and Least Tern. It is also the summer home of many American Oyster Catchers, that may also nest there.
We have until August 12th, 2010 to send comments to the Charleston District Corps of Engineers, and until August 27, 2010 to send comments to SCDHEC. |
