The EIPA Annual Meeting was held on November 16th, 2019 at the Sunny Side Plantation barn. Despite a rainy, blustery Saturday afternoon, nearly 30 members and friends braved the elements to attend. Outgoing Chair Barbara Gould conducted a brief business meeting, highlighting our successes with the Turtle-Friendly certification program for eliminating single-use plastic in our local restaurants.
We were then entertained by our featured guest speaker, Dr. Al Segars. As a retired, long-time DNR biologist, and friend of Edisto and Botany Bay Plantation WMA, he related how our changing environment has impacted our local animals on land and in the sea, and especially the habitats of our sea and shore birds.
