| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how wildlife inhabits Kiawah Island, South Carolina's seven golf courses. Describes the wildlife including alligators, turtles, foxes, bobcats, and deer, and how Kiawah Island has to "[monitor] the delicate balance between nature and the encroachment of civilization." Details that "golf courses on Kiawah provide an important open space for wildlife, acting as freeways for the animals to access all part of the island." Provides information on Jim Jordan, wildlife biologist for Kiawah, and how it is his role to [maintain] and [protect] nature. Discusses how Jordan "provided detailed statistics on the number of bird species, their populations and breeding tendencies [at Cougar Point golf course]." Describes how Jordan helped protect the habitat of an endangered bird when "the South Caroline Audubon Society [campainged for] dredging [and] scraping of sand to restore the buffer zones" of a beach after a series of storms wiped them out. Concludes that "although the beach work is completed, Jordan is responsible for monitoring the [endangered bird] population and the health of its habitat." |
