This is really a shame. One of the most important rivers in our state, and we don't think enough to preserve as much of it while utilizing it? SC has a treasure in the Congaree Swamp National Forest; if current trends continue, that's one less natural preserve for the state and the nation (since it's one-of-a-kind in the US).

Something I've wondered in my youth - but never realized how the ecology has altered. Very unfortunate, & even more so - most unlikely it can be saved due to importance of Lakes Marion & Moultrie.
