“Drastic Reversal” by the SC Supreme Court on development of the Kiawah Spit
Kiawah Spit, July 2011, aerial photograph by Mary Edna Fraser
After all the years of work of so many people, it looks like we lost on this epic court ruling. It’s a really sad day for us and all those fighting the development of this tenuous landform and improper development of South Carolina’s coasts.
An excerpt from today’s Post & Courier article Supreme Court gives go-ahead for Capt. Sam’s Spit development on Kiawah Island:
Nancy Vinson and the Coastal Conservation League produced a video presentation in 2010 that explains the logistics of the project and the many reasons to oppose development of the Spit.

You can see our history of our activism about this issue on Delete Apathy under the “Kiawah Spit” category. Here is a video, 50 Houses on Kiawah Sand, produced by Celie Dailey and Mary Edna Fraser with Orrin Pilkey and Nancy Vinson which gives more insight into the Kiawah Spit issue.
