Queen Quet of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, also wants none of it. Bay Point Island serves as a buffer to St. Helena Island, the heartland of the Gullah culture. She worries traditional fishing grounds will no longer be accessible and that development will drive up property values and taxes.

“So, our cultural community is not only being encroached on environmentally but also economically,” she said. “These things have already caused displacement issues … over the generations.”

Please help stop this continued encroachment and displacement.  Please make a financial contribution to the fundraiser for the Gullah/Geechee Land & Legacy Fund.  You can email GullGeeCo@aol.com for a mailing address or a different digital option or contribute at https://www.gofundme.com/gullahgeechee-land-legacy-fund
