The County Boating Master Plan analyzed information obtained from landing assessments, user surveys, and public outreach sessions to evalu-ate boat landing access on a county-wide scale. The plan includes new landing considerations, strategies to address direct and secondary impacts, and identify potential environmental constraints. The outcome of the study was vetted with the advisory committee and a list of priorities was developed to aid the county in future decisions regarding existing landing expansion, replacement, and potential new landing locations to align with county growth.Mosquito Control Assists with Pest Control County-wideSince 1974, Beaufort County Mosquito Control has improved the lives of those who reside or visit our portion of the scenic Lowcountry and Sea Islands.
