Join us on Monday, October 19, for a presentation by Dr. Blake Scott of the College of Charleston and Captain Chris Crolley of Coastal Expeditions. Discover how three collaborative initiatives, the Bird Island Research Department (B.I.R.D.), the Coastal Expeditions Foundation, and the Marsh Appreciation and Restoration Society for Happiness Project (M.A.R.S.H.), are working to protect South Carolina’s vital marshlands and coastal ecosystems.
Dr. Blake Scott is an expert storyteller, historian, published author, and an associate professor at the College of Charleston. His research delves into cultural and ecological links connecting the United States with the Caribbean and Latin America. He is also the co-founder of the M.A.R.S.H. Project.

With over 30 years of experience exploring, guiding, and advocating for the protection of our coastline and marshlands, he brings invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing our region.
