South Carolina's 187 miles of coastline offer a diverse array of ecosystems and habitats. A fascinating tapestry of bird life flourishes in this abundant and vibrant habitat, but not without its own set of ecological issues.  As a result, the coast has been the focus of several significant conservation initiatives. In Mt. Pleasant, the Crab Bank Project was one of the wildest in our state's history.

Test your knowledge below and see how well you remember the episode about the Coastal Birds!
