With nearly 3,000 miles of barrier islands, sounds, bays, and tidally influenced rivers and creeks, South Carolina coastal habitats support the highest concentration of bird species in the state. Audubon South Carolina’s (ASC) coastal program is focused on the protection of these species, and on increasing coastal resilience of the habitats they need, through active efforts to maintain and restore habitat while also benefiting people. Audubon’s Coastal Program endeavors to protect shorebirds, seabirds, and marsh birds that are threatened by expansion of the built environment, recreation-based disturbance, and climate change related impacts such as sea level rise and increasing storm intensity. To address this broad mandate, Audubon SC relies upon coordinated volunteer efforts, education and outreach, and partnerships with federal, state, and local governments as well as for profit and nonprofit entities. This work is pursued in alignment with Audubon’s commitment to equity and diversity, recognizing that the most sustainable solutions benefit people and birds.
