Join us for Flight Paths, a free public talk about the extraordinary seabirds, shorebirds, islands, and marshlands of the South Carolina coast.

Featuring speakers Chris Crolley and Dr. Blake Scott, the evening will explore the many ways our near-shore islands and marshes support wildlife and coastal communities—and why protecting these places matters.

Thursday, September 10
5:30–7:00 p.m.
Rita Science Center, Room 101
Free and open to the public

Presented by the Coastal Expeditions Foundation, the College of Charleston, and the M.A.R.S.H. Project.

We hope you’ll join us—and please share this invitation with anyone who loves South Carolina’s coast.
