ACE Basin Research Reserve observes Estuaries Day Sept. 30

Events will take place this year at the Edisto Interpretive Center and the McKenzie Field Station at Bennett’s Point. These two locations lie at the gateway to the ACE Basin, one of the East Coast’s largest undeveloped estuaries, with about 164,000 acres of protected land. Habitat diversity, coupled with the absence of industrial pollution contributes to the health of many terrestrial and aquatic species. (Photo courtesy Phillip Jones - SCDNR)
