The Uniqueness of Port Royal Sound

The Uniqueness of Port Royal Sound
February 3 at 3 p.m.
Come learn about this unique environment and how it was formed, as well as about the fantastic biodiversity that lives here. The Port Royal Sound stands apart from other estuaries on the East Coast. It is a submerged coastline created by rising sea level, exceptionally high tides, and unique geology. The result is a vast expanse of salt marsh, and a critical marine habitat. Kristen Marshall Mattson, an environmental educator with the LowCountry Institute and Spring Island Trust, will speak on the topic. She is co-instructor of the Master Naturalist program and host of “Night Skies Over Beaufort County.” $7 per person. Reservations are required by calling (843) 689-6767 ext. 223.
