May 2021 New State Documents

This month we feature the state government document, Loggerheadlines 2020, published by the SCDNR South Carolina Marine Turtle Conservation Program. In the introduction to this publication, Jeff Schwenter, Wildlife Biologist for the Program writes, "Humans, like sea turtles, are resilient creatures, and one year is but a blip in the sum of our existence. Yet, 2020 presented many challenges to 'life as we know it;' not one facet of our day-to-day existence was likely left unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mother nature marched onward, however, seemingly unaware of human problems, with some circumstances changing for the better while we remained largely out of her way."

The South Carolina Digital State Documents Depository provides access to state agencies' publications. These publications provide citizens with crucial information about state government, including statistics, annual accountability reports, and data on a wide variety of topics related to the state. The May 2021 list of new South Carolina State Documents is now available.
