At the Department of Natural Resource’s facility at the end of Fort Johnson Road, a few hundred scientists and researchers work tirelessly to monitor and protect our waterways, forests, and islands. Their jobs are likely among the most important (and fun) of anyone in the Lowcountry. This Saturday, they’ll be showing off their research, with touch tanks, fish prints, and boat tours. Biologists will be cooking up some of their catch, from flounder to shark, squid, and shrimp, and of course, offering samples. They’ll teach you how to shrimp bait and throw a cast net, and seminars include sea turtle conservation, history of the fort, and green energy efficiency techniques. Bring the family, but park at James Island Charter High School and catch the free shuttle in, where they’ll have plenty of food and drinks available for purchase as well.
