Next King Tide – August 28-September 1

Posted on August 22, 2019 by

Please be aware that the next King Tide that could affect Seabrook Island will occur August 28-September 1, 2019.

The term “King Tide” is used to describe a non-scientific term for astronomic tide that people in the Lowcountry often use to describe exceptionally high tides. It coincides with the moon being closest to the earth in its monthly elliptical orbit. In some cases, King Tides may barely even be noticed. In other cases, a King Tide may cause flooding of low-lying areas and disruption to normal daily routines. This is particularly true when a King Tide event coincides with significant precipitation because water drainage and runoff are impeded.

To learn more about King Tides, click here.

Be prepared for flooding.  Clear mulch and other debris from the street drain near your home. Move items up and off your basement floor.

Helping Good Causes

Posted on August 21, 2019 by

There are many ways to donate to those in need without giving cash and the Lake House is providing several ways to do that.  Your support won’t cost you any additional money because these are items you have around the house.

You may have seen the Box Tops for Education on packages you purchase every day.  Box Tops for Education was started in 1996 by General Mills to help support education and provide schools with a way to earn money. You can find box tops in hundreds of products including cereal, storage bags, frozen products, etc. For a complete list of products, click here. Each of the box tops is worth 10 cents to a school.

Mt. Zion is a local elementary school that participates in this program.  You can clip the box tops and put them in the container near the front desk at the Lake House.  Mt. Zion’s coordinator will send them in twice a year for cash to use for much-needed school supplies and art/music programs.

Join Us for Learning Together on North Beach – August 24

Posted on August 20, 2019 by

The Piping Plovers are back and there is a good chance to see more Shorebirds. SIB member Arch McCallum will lead a SIB Learning Together bird walk at North Beach. Arch was a professor of Ornithology at College of Charleston and also leads bird walks for Audubon of South Carolina. He’s never birded Seabrook’s beaches so it will be a learning experience for all. Overall, we hope to spot a nice variety of shorebirds as we work our way to the North Beach inlet. We’ll meet in the Property Owners’ beach parking lot at 5:00 pm. This will get us to the beach shortly after high tide which brings the shorebirds closer to the shore. The day should be getting cooler with hopefully a nice evening breeze. Be sure to bring binoculars, camera, hats, sunscreen, water, and snacks. Of course, you can head back at any time.

Saturday, August 24, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Learning Together at North Beach
Location: Meet at Owners Parking Lot near entrance to Boardwalk 1
Max: 18
Cost None for members; $5 donation for guests

If you are not yet a 2019 SIB member, you must first become a member by following the instructions on our website: http://seabrookislandbirders.org/contact/join-sib/ or we request a $5 donation to SIB.
