Morris Island Cleanup – A Huge Improvement!

Last year, with help from volunteers, Charleston Waterkeeper removed over a half-a-ton of trash from Morris Island on the 5th of July, left over from visitors the day before. This year, the situation was much different!

A big thanks to Live 5 News and Nicole Johnson for doing this piece on our cleanup efforts…

We’d like to think that the improved behavior was a product of a variety of influences: increased advocacy, heightened awareness, improved enforcement, and a greater sense of pride and responsibility. Thank you to the hundreds of people who enjoyed their 4th of July on Morris Island this year and who acted responsibly and respectful to one of the greatest rights all of us have – a right to clean water!
