SHORELINE DRIFT OCTOBER 17 & 18

The installation “Shoreline Drift” is intended to raise awareness of natural processes and how it has been accelerated by our development efforts along the South Carolina Coast. Folly Beach is known by the nickname “The Edge of America.” But that edge and all that it encompasses is a landscape of constant change. The sands that form this 6 mile barrier island southwest of Charleston Harbor are in a state of transition, as natural erosion processes cause on going depletion of the shoreline. This process is known as Shoreline Drift.
