Good News: An encouraging conservation outcome in the South Coast!

In March of 2025, Bluffton became the first South Carolina municipality to vote in support of a wetlands protection ordinance in response to the national decision that left 37% of the state’s wetlands vulnerable. On Tuesday night, the Bluffton town council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance!

As rapid growth and rising sea levels continue to impact the coast, preserving wetlands is essential to mitigate storm impacts, maintain biodiversity, and filter pollution. The Coastal Conservation League and the South Carolina Environmental Law Project helped to champion the ordinance, encouraging members of the public to engage on this key issue, and are also defending critical components of the ordinance, such as a mandatory 50-foot buffer around wetlands. We are optimistic these new local protections will serve as a model ordinance for other jurisdictions to adopt.
