Wednesday,
June 23, 2004, close to 2 dozen Kiawah volunteers helped the South
Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SC DNR), prepare bags of
oyster shells. For what? The building of an oyster reef
at Bass Creek! This was Phase 1 of a 2-phase project. This
interesting and ecologically important work will help to keep the
Kiawah waters clean and stable. A good supply of the
filter-feeding oyster reefs are keystones for a healthy estuary.
The SC DNR
has a well-organized procedure so the work goes smoothly and quickly
even on a hot day. Afterwards the folks enjoyed a watermelon break
as well-earned reward!
