Jason’s Lake is a focal point of the state’s extraordinarily popular Botany Bay Wildlife Management Area, a 50-acre saltwater pool roamed by trophy fish, a catch-and-release haven open to adults when they bring children.
It’s one of the signature habitats that make the recently opened management area the most visited in the state, by far. More than 40,000 people turn out each year to wander the lake, woods, creek, salt marshes and maritime forest beach on Edisto Island, right at the edge of the Charleston suburbs.
“It’s treated almost like a state park,” said Phil Maier, coastal reserves director with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources.
If it’s that important SC can fund it. Why should the rest of us? Why should the rest of you fund similar projects in Mississippi? This is the discussion for limiting the size of the Federal Govt. And the first step is to admit we all have a problem: we think solutions ($$$) to problems should flow from Washington rather than taking stock of our problems and solving them ourselves.
If this keeps on going, the Fed Govt will soon be telling us all what to eat! Ooops, I guess they are……….
