Save Hunting Island Before It's Too Late


Save Hunting Island Before It's Too Late
The Issue
Hunting Island State Park is one of the most popular state parks and beach areas in South Carolina. Tourists and locals alike have come to enjoy the pristine sandy beach, natural setting and warm Atlantic Ocean. As South Carolina's #1 State Park, Hunting Island beach attracts over a million visitors a year, and has become an economic driver for both Beaufort County and the state of South Carolina.
Despite being a renowned state jewel and imperative revenue stream, Hunting Island will no longer be receiving the funding needed to renourish the disappearing beach. The Senate has reduced the $40 million budget for renourishment in South Carolina to $20 million. We need your help, and we need it now. Erosion on Hunting Island takes away approximately 15 feet of sand every year, so time is of the essence. With a simple click of a button, your signature can make difference to save Hunting Island before it's too late!
