FROM THE DIRECTOR
WHAT A DIFFERENCE DESIGN MAKES:
CHARLESTON VS. CANE BAY
he term “design” has an insubstantial quality
about it. You draw designs on a notepad in a
boring meeting. People who want to make
a splash at the Academy Awards wear
designer clothes. “Intelligent” design is not really
intelligent. Urban design could convey the same
lack of seriousness – street trees, a fountain in the
park, banners hanging from period lamp posts – all
nice but not essential.
The Coastal Conservation League’s view, which
we’ve promoted for the past 25 years, is exactly the
opposite. Urban design will determine whether
cities survive and flourish or sink under an unbearable weight of expense, traffic congestion and
pollution. Unfortunately – even catastrophically –
local governments, and specifically local planning
departments and planning commissions, often
times don’t understand or apply even the simplest
principles necessary to ensure that development is
functional, sustainable, and inspiring.
Let’s start with the most basic and, arguably,
the most important design element – the street
system. As long as cities have existed on this earth,
they have had some version of a street grid. This is
not just a convention. It is a functional necessity
because a grid of streets is demonstrably the most
efficient organizational pattern for urban settlement. Getting from home to school, from the office
to the store, from city hall to the gym, or virtually
any point A to any point B, can be done more quickly, in a shorter distance, on foot, bicycle, bus, or car,
on a grid. This is a geometric fact.
Grids vary across the world, from Hong Kong to
Athens, from London to San Francisco, from Beaufort to Savannah. But the unifying principle is that
each has a dense, connected network of streets
made up of small blocks. Traffic distributes itself
across the grid, minimizing congestion. When land
uses are blended together, as they are in all traditional cities and towns, it is possible to get around
on foot or on a bicycle, because travel distances are
short.
To the right are two examples: Charleston
and Beaufort.

“All of this adds up to an entirely predictable
future for this part of the region – massive
gridlock, a constant clamor for wider roads,
calls for higher taxes to build and maintain
those roads, chronically unsafe conditions
for bicyclists and pedestrians, and
minimal potential for any form of
public transit serving
the residents.”

Around the 1950s, this pattern began to break down,
due to the increasing dominance of the automobile
and the false impression that distance was no longer
a critical factor in transportation. Blocks lengthened
and even disappeared among new road layouts that
were designed exclusively to accommodate cars. Zoning codes rigidly separated different land uses, placing
stores, offices, and even schools miles from homes.
By the 1980s, with an exponential increase in traffic
congestion and an ever-increasing demand for more
and wider roads, some planners began to realize the
catastrophic mistake of abandoning the grid. Ironically, even cities with internationally acclaimed, historic
downtowns built on traditional street grids – Charleston being a case in point – failed to incorporate
connected streets into new development. The results
are evident every morning and every evening as traffic
creeps along major highways nationwide – like I-26
and Folly Road in Charleston and Highway 278 in
Bluffton, turning commutes that would ordinarily take
15 minutes into hour-long ordeals.
There is no secret to the formula for an efficient
street system. It all comes down to “block density,” or
the number of blocks per square mile. Charleston,
below the Crosstown Expressway, is about 2.8 square
miles. It contains roughly 320 city blocks. So there are
approximately 114 blocks per square mile.

On the other end of the spectrum, Cane Bay is
emerging in Berkeley County along Highway 176. At
completion this 4,500-acre project is projected to
have 10,000 houses and 195 acres of commercial development. The first phase is roughly 1.5 square miles.
As you can see in the image above, it is difficult even
to determine exactly what a block is in Cane Bay, but a
generous count would be 25 total blocks. This adds up
to a block density of about 17 per square mile, or about
1/7 that of Charleston. To make matters worse, uses
are rigidly separated. This means that every trip must
be taken in a car.
This disaster-in-the-making is also entirely avoidable. Changing the pattern of new development to
reflect the efficiencies of traditional towns is comparatively easy … compared to, say, fixing the educational
system in America or dealing with crime and unemployment.
Local governments should require that all new development meet basic design standards with functional road systems that – like Charleston’s, Beaufort’s,
and Georgetown’s – will support the needs of citizens
for centuries into the future. Now is the time to turn
the corner on development by acknowledging and
institutionalizing the critical importance of design for
the future of the coast.
or the last 25 years, the Conservation League has been the
leading voice representing the public interest on Lowcountry
environmental issues. In collaboration with communities
along the coast, the Conservation League has held developers
and legislators accountable for actions that impact the environment.
Unfortunately, special interests are using our success to justify one of
the biggest attacks on environmental regulatory protections in recent
history. The roster of regulatory bills in the state legislature this session,
which extends through next year, is aimed almost exclusively at absolving industries and developers from public accountability for the environmental consequences of their actions.
F
Holding Polluters Accountable
Case in point: Senate bill S.229, dubbed by conservationists as the
“Polluter Amnesty Bill,” would weaken the Pollution Control Act by
removing citizens’ rights to legally contest unpermitted, past pollution.
This legislation would further prohibit the ability of affected communities to hold polluting entities accountable and would provide amnesty
from legal recourse for past pollution, as in the case of leaking coal ash
ponds and radioactive waste pools.
LET THE PEOPLE
SPEAK
PROTECTING THE AUTOMATIC STAY
istockphoto.com
Next on the docket is S.165, an attack on the “automatic stay,” which
is a legal mechanism intended to prevent irreversible and permanent
damage to our state’s natural resources. The automatic stay temporarily
halts work on a contested project until the Administrative Law Court has
heard all of the facts and analyzed the situation to ensure that the initial
decision to issue a permit was well-founded and in keeping with state
law.
Without the automatic stay, destruction can take place unabated
until legal proceedings are complete. The automatic stay has prevented
great harm in the past, including helping to save Angel Oak on Johns
Island. Developers had planned high-density apartment buildings and
businesses surrounding Angel Oak, a live oak tree that is thought to be
several hundred years old. The Conservation League and Save the Angel
Oak challenged the permits issued to fill wetlands where the development was to occur. The automatic stay ensured that development and
construction stopped, preventing irreparable harm to the beloved oak.
The delay also allowed time to negotiate a settlement to safeguard the
long-term health of Angel Oak and by permanently protecting 36 acres
surrounding the ancient tree.

There was a momentary bright spot this legislative session when Representative Bill Herbkersman
and Senator Ray Cleary introduced two bills, House
bill H.3378 and Senate bill S.139. The legislation
was designed to implement the recommendations
of DHEC’s Blue Ribbon Committee on Shoreline
Management (BRC), The BRC was tasked with
reviewing South Carolina’s landmark Beachfront
Management Act and recommending regulations to
help guide the stewardship of beachfront and estuarine shorelines. Unfortunately, upon introduction
of these bills, out-of-state developers pressured a
handful of influential legislators into supporting an
amendment that would completely undermine the
legislation by delaying setting the shoreline baseline recommendation until far into the future. That
amendment is squarely aimed at allowing sufficient
time to pass for sand to accrete on the fragile sliver
of land on Kiawah Island known as Captain Sams
Spit, facilitating the construction of a road across
the narrow “neck” of the spit.
KEEPING THE COASTAL ZONE IN TACT
Olim Photography
Kiawah developers are not alone in their pursuit
of regulatory exemption. S.522, a bill threatening
to eliminate Coastal Zone Management Program
(CZM) protections for approximately 90 percent of
Dorchester County, was also introduced this session. Through the CZM, South Carolina’s Office of
Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM)
Members of the conservation community wait to

has the authority to review state and federal permit
applications in the coastal zone to balance economic development with coastal protections. Dorchester County wants to remove almost all of their
county from the coastal zone designation, presumably to enable development that would extensively
damage wetlands.
ENSURING CHECKS AND BALANCES at DHEC
Lastly, S.228 is a bill that aims to remove the
ability of the board of the Department of Health and
Environmental Control (DHEC) to challenge staff
decisions. Instead, permit appeals would go straight
to the Administrative Law Court. This bill will
significantly increase legal expenses for all parties
by eliminating the DHEC Board’s ability to informally resolve disputes. Eliminating this system of
“checks and balances” at DHEC will lead to environmentally devastating decisions.
The Conservation League and our allies are
opposing these legislative threats that would strip
citizens of their right to oppose unsound environmental degradation. On April 15th, more than one
hundred supporters arrived in Columbia wearing
“I Love the Coast” stickers for the annual Conservation Lobby Day. Supporters spent the day talking
to their legislators about the importance of standing up for our state’s natural resources. Because
many of the bills referenced above face substantial
opposition, we are hopeful that they will not pass
this year.
The Conservation League and its community
and conservation partners will continue to work
diligently and strategically in defense of citizen
involvement on behalf of the environment.

FOR CHARLESTON:
PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT
MAYORAL ADMINISTRATION
I
n 2015 the city of Charleston will elect its first
new mayor in four decades. Earlier this year,
the Coastal Conservation League joined forces
IfYouWereMayor.com, Charleston Moves,
Historic Charleston Foundation, and the
South Carolina Community Loan Fund to
host a forum at the Francis Marion Hotel to
discuss the future of city. The event was generously sponsored by John Winthrop.
Rather than invite the mayoral candidates to speak
about their own platforms, the candidates were
invited to listen and share ideas as members of the
audience.
If You Were Mayor co-founder Whitney Powers
emceed the forum.
Charlie Smith spoke first. He addressed the challenges that West Ashley faces and spoke about the
need to reconnect the neighborhoods and to involve
the residents of West Ashley in planning its own
future.
Kurt Cavanaugh, Charleston Moves’ executive
director, spoke about the need to make Charleston
safe for everyone, including those who travel by foot
and by bicycle.
Winslow Hastie of the Historic Charleston Foun-
dation used the metaphor of sausage-making to
explain the challenges that lie ahead for the next
mayor. It isn’t sexy, he said, but it’s time for Charleston to roll up its sleeves and implement community
plans that already exist – the Green Plan, the Century V Plan, Gabe Klein’s Peninsula Mobility Report,
and the 2015 Tourism Management Plan; in other
words, make the “sausage.”
Michelle Mapp of the South Carolina Community
Loan Fund began her presentation by sharing the
story of Jordan, a little girl growing up in a dilapidated Charleston neighborhood called Silver Hill. She
talked about the disconnect between the Charleston
we show the world and the Charleston that is home
to Jordan. She spoke of the urgent need to create
economic development opportunities for low-income residents.
Next, Conservation League Program Manager
Myles Maland discussed coastal resiliency, or how
to prepare and adapt to the challenges that arise as
a result of climate change. Increased flooding, for
example, is already posing infrastructure dilemmas
in Charleston.
I’On developer Vince Graham spoke about how
accommodating the automobile became the number

one policy of the federal government and changed
the way that communities were designed in the
20th century. (See Dana Beach’s column in this
issue.) Landscape architect Steve Dudash followed Graham and shared innovative and exciting alternate modes of mass transit, including
light rail and bus rapid transit.
Amy Fabri concluded the presentations with
a discussion about James Island. She likened
James Island to a child of three adults – the City
of Charleston (“Dad”), the Town of James Island
(“Mom”) and Charleston County (“Stepdad”) – all
of whom have plans for James Island. She spoke
about the need for cooperation among these
“adults” in charting James Island’s future.
The event sold out and was an overwhelming
success. The discussion was constructive and
optimistic, and most of the candidates for mayor
were in attendance.

describes Victor and Marjorie Morawetz, philanthropists from the first half of the twentieth
century whose gifts to the Lowcountry live on today.
Williams seeks to honor the Morawetzes’ legacy, ensuring
that future generations can appreciate their many contributions to the Charleston area. Recently Williams made a
generous gift to the Coastal Conservation League in memory
of Victor and Marjorie Morawetz. “When I sold my house at 1
Tradd Street, I wanted to be sure that one-third of the proceeds stayed in Charleston,” Williams explained about her
decision to give to the Conservation League. “It is because
Charleston has prospered and grown that the house had a high value.”
“I have a lot of admiration for Dana Beach,” she says about the Conservation
League’s executive director. “He’s pugnacious enough to keep going and keep
protecting more special places.”

SUMMERS AT SEABROOK
The Morawetzes were concerned that Seabrook
would be sold and all of the trees clear-cut for timber, says Williams, so they bought the majority of
the island in an effort to preserve its natural beauty.
The Morawetzes invited Williams and her family
to stay at Seabrook during the summers because
Williams’ mother suffered from hay fever induced
by ragweed. Seabrook had no ragweed, an allergen
for which there was no treatment at the time.
During those summers, Seabrook was
completely undeveloped with the exception
of the hunt club and a few shacks. “The
hunt club was so large that they played
badminton matches in the central room,”
remembers Williams.
The island had no electricity, and with
no grocery stores nearby, Williams and
her family and friends often feasted on
fresh seafood they caught themselves.
“Wearing our ancient crabbing shoes
and oldest clothes, at low tide each day
we ventured into Captain Sams Creek
and caught shrimp and crab. The tide
table was our bible,” says Williams.
“Those were wonderful summer experiences. The Morawetzes were very
special people.”

ictor Morawetz was
one of the highest
profile corporate
attorneys of the
early 20th century.
A Baltimore native,
Morawetz built his
practice in New York City. Among his
clients were numerous railroads, J.P.
Morgan & Company, and U.S. Steel.
He authored many influential legal
texts, including the foremost treatise
on corporate law at the time. He was
frequently quoted on legal matters in
the New York Times, perhaps most
famously for his opposition to the
16th Amendment, which established the authority of Congress to
levy a federal income tax.
Though the Morawetzes aren’t household names
in the Lowcountry today, the fruits of their generosity remain all around us.
In the 1920s and 30s, Marjorie and Victor
Morawetz purchased Seabrook Island, Fenwick Hall
Plantation on Johns Island, and Charleston’s socalled “Pink House” at 17 Chalmers Street, among
other properties.
Victor Morawetz hired renowned Charleston
architect Albert Simons, of the firm Simons and
Lapham, to restore Fenwick Hall and the Pink
House. Simons was Harriet Williams’ father.

SAVING FENWICK HALL
Driving down Maybank Highway toward Johns
Island, one can’t miss the majestic magnolia trees
lining the road by the municipal golf course. Those
trees were planted by Victor Morawetz during the
restoration of Fenwick Hall.
An early Georgian two-story brick plantation
house, Fenwick Hall was built around 1717 by John
Fenwick, a member of one of the Lowcountry’s most
colorful families. The estate sits on the eastern end
of Johns Island, across the Stono River from James
Island, between the present-day River Road and Penneys Creek.
During the American Revolution, Fenwick Hall was
occupied and served as a headquarters for the British army. The estate is sometimes still referred to as
Headquarters House.
Victor and Marjorie Morawetz bought and restored
Fenwick Hall in the 1930s, saving it from ruin.
Fenwick Hall still stands on Johns Island today.
RESTORING THE PINK HOUSE
Built within the walled city of Charles Towne in
the mid 1690s, the little pink building at 17 Chalmers
Street is the oldest stone house in the city. It is built
of “Bermuda stone,” which has a natural salmon hue.
Once a watering hole frequented by rowdy sailors visiting the Port of Charleston from all over the
world, the Pink House – like Fenwick Hall – had
fallen into disrepair by the beginning of the 20th century. Victor and Marjorie Morawetz purchased the
12
C O A S T A L C O N S E R VA T I O N L E A G U E | S P R I N G 2 0 1 5
building in the 1930s and worked with Albert Simons
on extensive renovations. The building was used as a
venue for entertaining guests. The Morawetzes added
a small wing for caterers to use in hosting events.
The Pink House has been used as an art gallery in
recent years but is currently closed to the public.
A LASTING LEGACY
Victor Morawetz died in 1938. In a codicil to his
will, he stipulated that Seabrook Island should be “…a
park and recreation ground and health resort for such
of the public as may be in need thereof…so much of
the beach as can advantageously be used for healthful
recreation of boys of the State of South Carolina shall
always be set apart for that purpose.”
Marjorie Morawetz lived 20 more years, frequently
visiting the Lowcountry. Upon her death in 1957, she
bequeathed more than 1,200 acres of Seabrook Island
to the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina with the
condition that the island’s natural beauty be maintained.
In 1970, the Diocese sold the majority of Seabrook
Island to a developer named William Whitner for
$1.9 million. Two hundred and six acres of high land
were reserved for an Episcopal camp and conference
center, known today as Camp St. Christopher.
At the time of Marjorie Morawetz’s death, the editorial board of the Charleston Evening Post wrote:
“Mr. and Mrs. Morawetz were the soul of generosity
in many public benefactions, here and elsewhere. …
Even in their death their good works will go on.”

Finding Common Ground to Expand

Under the settlement, residential and commercial utility customers that install solar panels

and commercial utility customers that install solar
panels on their rooftops before 2021 will receive full
retail credit for any excess power that flows back
onto the electric grid and will be eligible to remain
on this rate until December 31, 2025 without any
solar specific charges or fees.
The settlement also establishes a methodology for
valuing solar power for purposes of utility recovery
of lost revenues, if any, which will be recoverable by
the utilities through distributed energy resource programs that were authorized by Act 236. In 2020 the
Public Service Commission will reevaluate the solar
policies included in the settlement and will consider
any appropriate changes at that time.
Full implementation of Act 236 is expected by this
summer and will enable even South Carolinians of
modest means to access solar energy. Distributed
energy resources like solar are expected to enhance
grid security, increase consumer independence, promote market competition, and reduce health costs
from pollution.
Richard Beck
igned into law by Governor Haley in 2014,
Act 236 is a consensus bill developed by
electric cooperatives, investor-owned
utilities, solar power proponents, and
conservationists to open the way for more
distributed energy production in South Carolina.
Taken together, the bill’s key provisions – giving
customers the freedom to lease solar, permitting
utilities to introduce distributed energy programs,
and ensuring equitable net metering rules – are complementary approaches that will expand customer
options and increase cost-effective renewable power
in South Carolina.
In December utilities, solar businesses, and conservation groups reached a settlement agreement on
updated net energy metering rules for Duke Energy
and SCE&G. The settlement agreement, which has
been filed with the South Carolina Public Service
Commission, is a critical step forward in implementing Act 236.
Although this issue has given rise to extensive
controversy between solar supporters and utilities
across the country, South Carolina stakeholders
have once again been able to find common ground
in efforts to expand solar energy opportunities for
businesses and homeowners.
Rooftop solar panels produce power that is used
by a home or business, but they can also push electricity back onto the grid to be used by other utility
customers. Net energy metering is the term used
for crediting that excess solar power at the retail
electricity rate. Under the settlement, residential

THE CASE FOR COMPROMISE:
DEEPENING THE
CHARLESTON HARBOR
The Coastal Conservation League,
Lowcountry Open Land Trust, and the
Southern Environmental Law Center
announce an historic compromise
with the South Carolina State Ports
Authority (SCSPA) regarding the
deepening the Charleston Harbor.
The agreement includes a $5.1 million
investment in the conservation of the
Cooper River Corridor by the SCSPA
and ensures the timely progress
forward of harbor deepening. The
compromise was approved by the
Joint Bond Review Committee in
South Carolina Ports Authority
February.

he deepening of Charleston Harbor represents an
important economic opportunity for South Carolina.
A wider Panama Canal will mean larger ships with
deeper drafts calling on Charleston in a few years.
Even now, large ships traversing the Suez Canal from Asia are
calling on East Coast ports in greater numbers. These larger
ships require a deeper channel.
At the same time, Charleston Harbor is a resource of unparalleled importance to our community – historically, culturally
and environmentally. We agree that the deepening must not
compromise this irreplaceable asset.
Gaining approval for the project requires obtaining a variety
of federal and state environmental permits and certifications.
When the South Carolina State Ports Authority (SPA) initiated the permitting process in 2011, the estimated completion
date was not until 2024. Although the Coastal Conservation
League agrees that the project analysis should be comprehensive and scrupulously rigorous, we felt that the time frame was
longer than necessary.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the agency responsible
for the federal permitting, worked with the SPA and in 2012
agreed to a streamlined procedure, shortening the process by
approximately five years. This flexibility by the Corps is admirable. We are confident that the review will not be compromised by the accelerated schedule.
The expedited process is still quite demanding. One central requirement is mitigation for negative impacts to water
quality and wetlands. This is often a sticking point for large
projects like the deepening. It is difficult to identify and gain
agreement for mitigation strategies that truly reduce project
impacts in a meaningful way. Further, there are other critical
and potentially controversial issues to address and resolve,
such as the suspension of toxic contaminants in the water
column.
After extensive discussion among our conservation partners, we believed that it would be best to identify these concerns as soon as possible, and that the Conservation League
and the Southern Environmental Law Center should develop
a set of recommendations that could move the project forward. The alternative would have been to follow the timeline
of the permitting process, delaying this analysis for a couple of
years. This would have reduced the time available to come to
agreement on permit conditions, potentially setting the stage

Rural Resurgence
or centuries,
agriculture has played a vital
role in South Carolina’s
economic and cultural
history. South Carolina once
ranked among the wealthiest states in
America based on its agricultural success.
But the legacy of agriculture has been both grand
and tragic. The slave-based plantation system was
indefensible and unsustainable. Today, the oncelucrative model of industrial-scale, single-crop
export agriculture – such as that employed by the
18th and 19th century rice planters – has failed to
deliver prosperity, or even basic subsistence, to much
of rural South Carolina.
But the land and the people remain. South Carolina has more than four million acres of farmland, a
long growing season, an ample supply of water, and
a history of agricultural performance. Moreover, a
powerful cultural change is transforming American
agriculture. Nationwide, demand for local and heritage food products is increasing, and South Carolina
is no exception. Currently, the appetite for locally
grown food far outstrips the state’s present level of
production. As is the case across the United States,
the growing market for all things local is reconstituting South Carolina’s food system and rural economy.

A New Grain for the 21st Century
In 2011, Charleston Gold rice — a hearty, aromatic,
short-stemmed hybrid of the world-famous Carolina
Gold rice — was approved for cultivation. Developed by Dr. Merle Shepard, Dr. Gurdev Khush and
Dr. Anna McClung over the course of twenty-three
years, Charleston Gold has quickly become a favorite among local growers and a staple of Lowcountry
restaurants and kitchens. Dr. Shepard, Professor
Emeritus of Entomology at Clemson University

and a trustee of the Carolina Gold Rice Foundation,
explains the evolution of Charleston Gold: “This could never have happened without the
efforts of a lot of very talented (and persistent) people — beginning with the inception of the idea, on to
discussions with Dr. Khush, the rice breeder at the
International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines, who made the crosses and sent me the 25
accessions to move through quarantine to the field,
each year selecting only the best genotypes.
“Another essential step in the process was the
work of Dr. McClung, U.S. Department of Agricul-

rice farmer in South Carolina who has
expanded his production and continues to
provide excellent quality Charleston Gold to
the marketplace; and Jimmy Hagood, who
also grows and markets Charleston Gold and
continues to enlarge his operation at Lavington Plantation.
“Jimmy Hagood uses a wonderful analogy,
referring to Charleston Gold as the ‘little sister’ of Carolina Gold. The attributes (besides
the wonderful taste) that make Charleston
Gold stand out include: 1. Yields that are
nearly double those of Carolina Gold; 2.
Shorter plants that are less likely to ‘lodge’
or fall down in rain and wind; 3. Faster maturation rates, and 4. Resistance to disease.
“Credit also goes to food writers Hanna
Raskin, Teresa Taylor, Nathalie Dupree
and Marion Sullivan for helping to increase
awareness of Charleston Gold and its
fabulous flavor. Finally, we are indebted
to the GrowFood Carolina team and their
warehouse. They have done so much to move
Charleston Gold and other local and heirloom
farm products to market. Keep up the great
work!”

WHY I SUPPORT THE COASTAL
CONSERVATION LEAGUE
by Nick Ceva
7th Grader, Cario Middle School
ur vision for the Charleston area is a future in
which our population is healthy and active
and has access to clean air and water and a
strong and thriving local economy. We have
taken giant steps in this direction and we will get
there with your help.” This vision began for Coastal
Conservation League in 1989 when they opened their
headquarters in Charleston. I feel that the Lowcountry community will benefit most from 7th graders
at Thomas Cario Middle School supporting Coastal
Conservation League because they are working to
make Charleston a healthier place to live, and they do
this through the various programs they have in place,
and citizens can help by volunteering and becoming a
member.
Coastal Conservation League is working to make
Charleston a healthier place to live. CCL is helping to
make our air and water cleaner by campaigning for
the use of trains instead of diesel trucks and working
to convince the shipping industry to use cleaner fuels
in their ships and tugs. They are also monitoring all
air and water discharge permits along the coast and
questioning permits that would result in harm to
the environment. Charleston County received a “C”
rating from the American Lung Association due to its
harmful particulate and ozone levels. This shows how
important it is for us to support CCL in their efforts to
clean up our environment.
Coastal Conservation League has various programs
in place to improve the health of our environment.
They have five main programs and they are: Air, Water
and Public Health, Energy and Climate, Land and
Communities, Legislative and Sustainable Agriculture. The first program, Air, Water and Public Health,
focuses on working with power plants and to reduce
air and water pollution. “Our advocacy brings attention to the latest scientific and medical research on air/
water pollution and public health issues.” The second
program, Energy and Climate, focuses on finding ways
to take advantage of home-grown, renewable energy
and our state’s offshore wind potential. “Aggressive
energy efficiency measures can signficalty reduce

of investment opportunity within local economies.”
The third program, Land and Communities, focuses
on controlling growth by offering ways to create new
developments that reduce automobile use and land
consumption by placing them near or in existing urban
areas. “From restructuring zoning codes to rerouting

highways, we provide technical, professional and other assistance to residents of
the region to help them preserve the South
Carolina coast.” The fourth program focuses
on working with other conservation organizations and the public to push for legislation
that protects our environment. CCL has
office staff in Columbia so they can immediately respond to the growing number of bills
that affect the quality of life in our coastal
community. “CCL provides the information
so citizens can communicate effectively
with their individual representatives in the
House and Senate.” All of these programs
help CCL work toward their vision for the
Lowcountry.
The way 7th graders at Thomas Cario
Middle School can help support CCL are
by volunteering, becoming a member and
making a donation. “Get involved by joining our e-activist list and our social media
groups to find out about upcoming events,
news stories, volunteer opportunities, and
to receive updates on Conservation legislation.” 7th graders at Thomas Cario Middle
School can also become involved by sending
letters to elected officials to support CCL’s
push for legislation that protects our creeks,
marshes, water quality, and wildlife habitat.
By joining CCL and making a donation, 7th
graders at Thomas Cario Middle School are
becoming part of a group that will make a
difference in the Lowcountry’s future.
I predict that in the years to come, Coastal
Conservation League will have reduced the
demand for energy and we will have less
air pollution. As students, we can show our
support of CCL by following them on social
media to find out about volunteer opportunities, and support their conservation
efforts by sending letters to elected officials
to push for a change in legislation. Finally,
to make a difference everyday, you can shop
and buy from local stores and eat at restaurants that use local produce. Also, buying
from local farmers at our farmers markets
supports sustainable agriculture and this
benefits our community, the environment
and local economy.
