Read More

For two years, the LGBTQ+ and allied community across South Carolina came together to push back on a slate of anti-transgender legislation.

Several bills specifically targeted trans and queer youth, attempting to single out and marginalize young people. In the same month that two anti-LGBTQ+ bills passed, dozens of queer youth came together for We Are Family’s Queer Youth Prom in Charleston.

Remember: Our existence is our resistance. No one – and no discriminatory bill – can take away LGBTQ+ joy.

Nature Adventures (Mount Pleasant, SC) Participates in EPA Roundtable on the Importance of Clean Water Protections in the Southeast

 For Immediate Release: June 8, 2022

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – Matt Gamble, a Nature Adventures manager and guide, participated in a June 7 virtual roundtable hosted jointly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Cahaba Brewing Co. on the importance of clean water protections in the Southeast. 

Gamble joined stakeholders from a broad spectrum of land and water users who live or work across the Southeast. Participants included a director of a water and sewer utility; general contracting and construction management executive; mitigation banker; faith leader; environmental justice advocates; farmers; elected officials; representatives from conservation and environmental organizations; and clean water scientists.

In the Southeast, water is a way of life. Regional streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans are central to the area’s history, culture, and economy. Compared to other regions, the Southeast has more miles of streams and more acres of wetlands. 

Located on Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, Nature Adventure offers kayak and paddleboarding tours to locals and visitors. 

“Throughout our region, families, businesses, and communities depend on these waters for drinking, fishing, hunting, paddling, as a guard against flooding and pollution, and to sustain a burgeoning tourism industry,” Gamble said. “We depend on consistent minimum federal standards to safeguard clean water and protect our everyday life.”

Gamble discussed the significance of ensuring strong protections for natural habitats. He highlighted the harm upstream activities can have on water quality downstream, especially on a small, family-owned company such as Nature Adventures. 

A strong Clean Water Act helps protect the tourism industry and allows the public to experience untouched nature and enjoy outdoor activities, Gamble said. 

Nature Adventures co-owner Ben-Jamin Toy pointed to the EPA’s Clean Water Act as a key player in protecting waters used for outdoor recreation in the Lowcountry and across South Carolina. 

“Our beautiful Shem Creek is a clear example of why strong protections under the Clean Water Act are key to maintaining access to outdoor tourism on our rivers, streams, and estuaries,” Toy said.

A recording of the livestream is available on YouTube.

DHEC (South Carolina) Plays Key Roles in Protecting the Public Before, During and After Hurricanes

June 6, 2022 by 0 Comments

COLUMBIA, S.C. – As the 2022 hurricane season officially begins, the South Carolina Department of Health and Control (DHEC) reminds residents to be prepared for severe weather and also reminds residents of the key roles DHEC plays in helping our state prepare for, respond to, and recover from weather events such as hurricanes and tropical storms.

While the South Carolina Emergency Management Division is the primary coordinating agency during a severe weather event, DHEC is responsible for several actions and efforts that help protect the public, property, and the environment, including:

  • Overseeing and assisting with the evacuation (and reopening, after the storm) of hospitals and long-term care facilities, when requested by local officials.
  • Coordinating Medical Needs Shelters for people whose medical conditions exceed the capabilities of the general population shelters but are not severe enough to require a hospital stay.
  • Helping ensure our state’s dam owners take preparations to reduce the risk of dam failure; performing in-field pre-and post-storm dam assessments; and providing contractual resources to dam owners, if needed.
  • Utilizing the statewide Care Line call center to provide real-time public health and health-department related information.
  • Closing shellfish harvesting areas that are impacted by high levels of bacteria due to excess rain or other factors during a severe storm.
  • Assisting well owners with monitoring for possible contamination of their well water.
  • Providing health services, like vaccines or WIC (Women, Infants, Children) services through health departments, off-site events or mobile resources.
  • Providing important information about how to return safely to your home after an evacuation, especially after flood waters recede.

DHEC’s Public Health Preparedness Program, which was recently ranked among the top tier nationally for emergency preparedness, is comprised of emergency response professionals who take part in year-long trainings and exercises to help maintain coordination among other state agencies and local communities when severe weather threats and other emergencies occur. 

Learn more about DHEC’s role during a severe weather event, at scdhec.gov. Visit the South Carolina Emergency Management Division’s website at www.scemd.org or hurricane.sc for important information about its role as the primary coordinating agency during an emergency event in South Carolina.

For eastern states, the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.
