Shem Creek - A seafood-lover's paradise!

We have a habit of making it to the top (or bottom) of national lists from time to time here in South Carolina, and it looks like we’ve done it again.

The Wateree River, which is downstream of North Carolina’s Catawba River, gets us to the top of the list this time.

Requirements for getting on the ‘Most Endangered River’ list include: energy development, sewage pollution, over-development, and the effects they have on a river for a given year.

I hope our state government does the right thing and steps up for us. Water is such an important part of our lifestyle here in South Carolina, whether upstate with the lakes and rivers, or here on the coast with our creeks and beaches.
