About:
About The Lowcountry Estuarium is home to species inhabiting the Port Royal Sound estuarine system. Story The Lowcountry Estuarium was recruited by the Town of Port Royal as both a community resource and as an economic stimulus attracting regional residents and visitors to its core commercial district. Estuarium staff and board members played an active role in promoting economic redevelopment in the town's core commercial district with the founding of the Old Village Association along with spring and fall festivals which draw thousands of visitors to the town annually. Of note is the fact that as a result of two years of PUD and development agreement negotiations between the Town of Port Royal and the State Ports Authority for the redevelopment of the Port of Port Royal property was the designation of a .24 AC parcel within the town's Civic Open Space on Battery Creek to be the site of the future permanent Estuarium facility. Building upon its strong record of community service and solid reputation for innovative and entertaining educational and recreational offerings within the area’s education, residential and tourism communities; the Estuarium is now evolving in ways that will allow it to fulfill the promise that has been twenty years in the making. It is the promise of a state-of-the-art aquarium facility and permanent home on the shores of Battery Creek in Port Royal that is in the balance. The Board of Directors of the Lowcountry Estuarium extends an open invitation to any and all wishing to take part in the ongoing effort to one day reach that ultimate goal. Mission The mission of the Lowcountry Estuarium is to instill a public sense of stewardship for the marshes, creeks, rivers and sounds that make up our unique Port Royal Sound estuarine system by fostering conservation through education, enhancing the area’s economy by attracting visitors to our facility, and by partnering with other venues and attractions in promoting the region as a destination.
