$1M grant for wetland restoration in Georgetown County, SC January 7, 2021, posted by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $1 million National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) for wetland restoration on the Lower Middleton complex at Samworth Wildlife Management Area in Georgetown County.
The grant was completed and submitted through a partnership between Ducks Unlimited and SCDNR.
The Lower Middleton complex has been subject to extensive damage beginning with the historic flood of 2015 followed by a succession of hurricanes, which resulted in the breaching of the dikes and significant erosion damage to the already tenuous dike system.
