The purpose of this investigation was: First, to determine the need for and advisability of providing and maintaining a shallow draft navigation channel from upstream docking areas on Folly River and Folly creek through Stono River Inlet and bar to the Atlantic Ocean off Charleston County. Second, to determine what, if any, other water and related land resource needs exist in the area. Third, to determine what management measures could be taken to address those needs. The studies in this report focus on the water and related land resource needs in the vicinity of Folly Island, South Carolina. This study also examines these local needs and tentative solutions in light of the needs of the surrounding Charleston County.
