LNM: Oyster Beds to be Installed, Steamboat Creek, off SC AICW Statute Mile 496
Steamboat Creek cuts the southwestern banks of the North Edisto River, southeast of the ICW/Dawho River and this popular anchorage lies northeast of the charted position of Steamboat Landing. There have been recent local objections from boaters about these floating oyster beds and their implementation may be temporary. Many boaters consider the floating beds to be a danger to navigation and a reduction of anchoring space.
SOUTH CAROLINA – STONO AND NORTH EDISTO RIVERS – NORTH EDISTO RIVER – STEAMBOAT CREEK: Oyster Farm Project
Charleston, South Carolina. The activities include the installation of a total of 700 floating OysterGro cages in one project area. The cages will be configured in 28 trawls (or groups) of 25 cages per trawl, with each end of the trawl being anchored by an auger. From the shoreline, the trawls will be established 50’ from the MLW line and continue channelward with 25’ of spacing between parallel trawls. The perimeter of the project will extend up to approximately 205’ wide and 1,685’ in total linear length. The project area will be marked with five white “Danger Obstruction” buoys; two of the five buoys have been deployed in approximate position 32-36-39.600N, 080-16-40.800W (32°36.6600N / 080°16.6800W, 32.611000 / -80.278000) and 32-36-37.620N, 080-16-39.510W (32°36.6270N / 080°16.6585W, 32.610450 / -80.277642), which mark the southwestern end of the project area. Operations will begin on or around July 13, 2020 and conclude June 2022. For further information regarding this project, please contact USCG Sector Charleston, Waterways Management Division at (843) 323-7761.

Thank you Larry for this heads up. I see reference to prior objection from boaters on these encroachments into navigable waterways – do you have any links to these? Thank you
