IOP Rec. Dept. to Host “SC Dolphins – Sea Stroll & Learn” on August 10th

The City of Isle of Palms Recreation Department and Coastal Expeditions will host SC Dolphins – Sea Stroll & Learn on the beach (25th Avenue) on Thursday, August 10th at 7:30 am. The event is FREE for residents and visitors.  

This event is the second in a series offered by the Isle of Palms Recreation Department in 2023. During this stroll, Abbi Cochran, Coastal Expeditions IOP Manager, Guide and Wildlife Expert, will share details about our beloved SC Dolphin population and habits. 

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), three hundred dolphins call the IOP/Charleston shoreline home. Awareness is crucial to protect them against harassment, boat strikes, entanglement, ingestion of marine debris, and more.  

“It is incredibly exciting for all ages to see a beautiful SC dolphin playfully rise above the surf,” Cochran said. “We want to enhance that experience and ensure that our dolphins are safe for  years to come. The best way to do that is to educate ourselves. It is important to understand DOLPHIN LIFE – habitat, feeding habits, reproduction, dangers to their environment, and more.”

In the event of inclement weather, follow Isle of Palms Recreation Department social media updates. Rain date is Friday, August 11th at 7:30 pm, beachside at 25th Avenue.
