Flood cleanup begins in South Carolina
Flooding rains in South Carolina have caused plenty of damage, flooding many inland areas as well as eroding beaches where many sea turtle nests were incubating. Among the places impacted by flooding was the TSA’s Turtle Survival Center. As a result, our friends need help “bailing out” the TSC. You can donate specifically to this cause. Alternatively, if you live near Berkeley County, South Carolina, you can contact the TSA to volunteer your time.
And don’t forget, you can also support the TSA through a purchase of a 2016 calendar.
