McClellanville, Part 1 - Introduction, And Shrimping | Palmetto Places - Episode 1

The city of McClellanville, also known as “The Village,” is located in Charleston County. It is a charming enclave of old trees, old houses, churches, with thousands of acres of tidal marshes.

McClellanville’s economy is heavily centered on fishing and shrimping. Shrimping is a tough job, and the small family owned shrimping businesses are threatened by trawling, and pollution.
