Accreted Land Management Plan

Town of Sullivan’s Island, SC
favored by the community. As part of the Team’s work, a list of potential outside funding
sources was developed. The AL offers a unique opportunity for barrier-island habitat manage-
ment near an urban center. Nature trails, an interpretive center, and a related wildlife park
may attract sponsors while also funding certain management activities within the AL area.
The challenge for the community is to identify a set of objectives for the AL and prioritize their
implementation. With diversity of habitats (as will be described in the next sections) comes
a great range of management alternatives. The Team has prepared this report to help the
community understand the origin of the accreted land, its present condition, and the likely
changes to expect over the next several decades. With this background, it is hoped the com-
munity can narrow the choice of management options and develop an ALMP that serves as
a model for other barrier-island communities.
