Johns Island Now: History and Future

Learn about the rich history of Johns Island from colonial times through growth in the 21st Century. Johns Island’s history is part of the larger Low Country experience while also having many of our own unique stories. Rapid development in recent times may threaten this legacy. The challenge for those interested in history is to preserve and appreciate this rich heritage while providing reasonable housing and economic opportunities for all residents both new and old.

 

Dolphins in the Kiawah River

The Kiawah River is home to a resident group of about two dozen dolphins. These dolphins have a unique feeding behavior where they chase fish up onto the river bank and then come out of the water to catch the stranded fish. People have long been fascinated by dolphins in general. The Kiawah dolphins and their strand feeding in particular have become a popular attraction. Yet this interest by humans, and the misbehavior of some, may be threatening the dolphins. Learn about the Kiawah River dolphins and what can be done to help protect them.
