By the latter half of the 20th century\, due to a variety of factors\, it disappeared entirely from the United States and was thought to have been hybridized into extinction. However\, two varieties from Edisto Island were recently rediscovered and are being returned to small-scale cultivation.\nPresented by Tom Austin\, Land Protection Specialist for the Edisto Island Open Land Trust URL:https://portroyalsoundfoundation.org/event/tuesday-talk-resurrecting-sea-island-cotton-on-edisto-island/ LOCATION:Maritime Center\, 310 Okatie Hwy\, Okatie\, SC\, 29909\, United States CATEGORIES:Tuesday Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://portroyalsoundfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Tuesday-Talk-FB-Cover-5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chris Kehrer":MAILTO:Contact Now END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231017T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231017T160000 DTSTAMP:20250713T152124Z CREATED:20230829T182858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250713T152124Z UID:6405-1697554800-1697558400@portroyalsoundfoundation.org SUMMARY:Tuesday Talk: Sea Turtles of the Eastern USA DESCRIPTION:Click the orange “Book A Program” button on our website to RSVP\nportroyalsoundfoundation.org\n$10/person (plus fees)\n\nLearn about the natural history of the 5 species of Sea Turtles that can be found in the South Carolina coast.

Join Andy Jones\, Executive Director of the Spring Island Trust and LowCountry Institute\, for a dive into why birds undertake this grueling trip and how they find their way to wintering grounds they have never seen before. Most species of songbirds migrate at night\, and lights can disorient them and draw them into collision situations\, though citizen science efforts are working to curtail these collisions.

Both are essential for managing bottomland hardwood forests\, where things are not always as they appear\, and the systems that created what we see today may no longer be functioning. Bottomland hardwood forests require us to slow down\, look at the site and solve backwards for how it developed before we can begin to move forward.
