South Carolina has a significant stock of diked coastal wetlands, dating from the days of rice culture before the Civil War. A survey of those controlling these sites along the entire South Carolina coast reveals that many continue to be used for waterfowl hunting, with management practices becoming more intensive than they were when partial data were gathered a decade ago. It also suggests that most of the acreage involved is located in large fields, where management is more difficult and mosquito control problems are more likely. This survey also indicates that public access is limited, but that there is evidence of continuing conflict over ownership. This situation creates a persisting dilemma for coastal zone management, shaping conflicts between alternative strategies for the use of natural systems. |
