#CharlestonSC (WCBD) – "A #marsh cleanup event is planned on World Wetlands Day in Downtown Charleston.

"The #CharlestonWaterkeeper, #KeepCharlestonBeautiful, and #TheMarshProject are hosting a cleanup near Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston and are seeking volunteers.

"Volunteers will pick up litter from one of the city’s beloved marsh fronts. Volunteers should wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that can get dirty.

"Spaces are limited, so interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up here.

"Feb. 2 is World Wetlands Day, a fitting moment for Charleston Waterkeeper to celebrate, as about 40% of Charleston is considered a wetland ecosystem, the group says on a recent Facebook post.

"The group also says marshes are vital. They provide #habitat, stabilize #shorelines, and protect us from #StormSurges. Cleanups help keep these #ecosystems resilient and protect all residents."

I made this bowl a couple of years ago. I call it a Bird Wave Bowl bc the crest of each wave is the head of a black skimmer. It’s a slightly larger piece and with all of the vulnerable wave appendages, I was too nervous to ship it, so I kept it around and then ended up donating it to Suncoast #Waterkeepers art auction. They work to protect and restore the waters in our region.

I’m about to start on a new version of this form, this time decorated with my wild clay decorating slips. #pottery

How do you feel when you are walking through an urban area alongside a brook, creek or small river flowing with clean water? This is a rare experience in most of our urban centres where we have constrained the natural flows into sewers and underground conduits. It's time we liberate our water and begin to allow it to connect us more deeply to our natural world. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2024/daylighting-rivers/ #waterkeepers

What about a #hamradio special event #WOTA #waterkeepers and #riverkeepers on the air? We could work people on #hf at riverkeeper sites and do #vhf #uhf #aprs via #kayak mobile. I really love to "light up" my local #Patuxent #riverkeepers site.
