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.
