Join the South Carolina Aquarium for live music, food, celebrities and experts during a special evening benefiting wildlife rescue at home and in the Gulf.

Hear personal accounts from select Aquarium staff members of recent trips to the Gulf, where they have aided in sea turtle rescue and vitally important dolphin surveying.

Enjoy live performances by Red Top Ramblers, Henry’s Attic and a special appearance from Mark Bryan of Hootie and the Blowfish, and Doug Jones and Gary Greene from Cravin’ Melon.

Cajun food will be provided by Krewe of Charleston, and beer and non-alcoholic products will be served.

Proceeds from the event will support the South Carolina Aquarium’s wildlife care, conservation and rescue programs, as well as allow the Aquarium to lend world-class care and expertise to the Gulf.

Tickets are $30 per person.
Additional donations will be accepted at the door.

I’ve seen plenty of jellyfish on Folly Beach and out in the water off Capers, but never here in Shem Creek.

That’s my complete experience with jellyfish in SC, and that’s a good thing.

Matter of fact, if I never see a jelly fish swimming next to me again, I’ll be a happy man – especially one that looks like this big guy: the Bloodybelly Comb Jelly.
