The Importance of The Coastal Conservation League
As I have photographed the South Carolina Coast from the air over the years, I have repeatedly “stumbled” upon landscapes of amazing beauty and ecological value that survive precisely because The League preserved these unique spots. I am proud to partner with them, and support them financially.
I will donate $100 from the purchase of each of these photographs to support The League.

These places, where the fresh water meets the ocean, are the birthplace of numerous species, flora and fauna. Coastal wetlands and mangroves offer a resilient buffer to inland communities against ocean storms.
The coastal plains to the north and south of Charleston, with their unique soils, winding slow rivers, and tidal ebb and flow, proved to be uniquely ideal for the growing of rice. The production and transaction of this crop, and the links to the institution of slavery, changed the history of the USA.

Captain Sams Spit provides crucial habitat for many nesting and roosting birds, some among our most threatened or endangered--least terns, American oystercatchers, black skimmers, piping plovers, Wilson's plovers, royal terns, among others. Loggerhead sea turtles nest here, too, and bottle-nose dolphins strand-feed, a specular fishing technique which takes place in few places in the world.

On the top we see the regular patterns of the rice fields. Because it was a more direct route for the rising tide to bring salt water, planters created a dam across Wimbee Creek, with the labor of enslaved workers. Nemours Plantation on left, Long Brow on right. The variegated sun and shadows give the picture a wonderful depth.
I was flying with Southwings pilot Landon on another mission for the League when I saw this wonderful light and grabbed this shot in passing.
