One Hundred Miles files legal challenge against dredging May 7, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
A conservation group is taking legal action with the hope of preventing a summer dredging project in St. Simons Sound because of the potential harm it would pose to nesting sea turtles.
In a federal lawsuit filed Monday, One Hundred Miles – represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) – is seeking a preliminary injunction to block USACE from conducting year-round operation and maintenance dredging in Brunswick Harbor starting as early as mid-May.
The lawsuit and motion for a preliminary injunction filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia allege that USACE did not conduct the environmental review required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Will NC get real on climate change?

When I think about climate change, I think about my brother-in-law Tillman.
Tillman spent his career with Big Oil. He travelled the world finding places to drill, baby, drill. He’s now comfortably retired in Dallas, Texas. And he’s a Republican.
You may suspect he’s a climate-change denier.
Wrong.
Tillman has a PhD in geology from UNC. He’s smart and studious. Some years back, he delved into a study of climate change.
Like most geologists, he concluded it’s real – so real he tells his eight grandchildren that the family’s vacation home on North Carolina’s Outer Banks may be gone when they’re his age. “Act now,” he writes, “to slow the change and preserve this wonderful place.”
ATLANTA - A coastal Georgia nonprofit is challenging a plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do away with seasonal limitations on dredging activities that have long protected sea turtles and other marine life.
