• Kiawah Island coastline nears permanent protection (live5news.com) — Kiawah Island leaders have reached a long-sought agreement to permanently protect Captain Sams Spit from development, creating a 76-acre Heritage Trust preserve with strict conservation easements. The town, state, and SCDNR are finalizing land transfers and tax arrangements, ensuring this wildlife-rich stretch near Beachwalker Park remains natural for dolphins, sea turtles, bobcats, and shorebirds for generations.
