Author Deonne Parker has described so well the Lowcountry of South Carolina
so many of us love:

The Lowcountry of South Carolina

          The “lowcountry” lies along the coast of South Carolina, and includes 
          parts of North Carolina and Georgia. The low-lying Atlantic coastal 
          plains are characterized by rivers, streams, estuaries, deltas, salt 
          water marshes and barrier islands. Palmetto palm trees and live oak 
          trees draped in Spanish moss contribute to the compelling beauty of 
          the landscape. Its swamps and wetlands are home to an abundance of wildlife. 
          

          The lowcountry of South Carolina includes the ACE basin, a watery wilderness 
          at the confluence of the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers, which 
          covers a vast area along the coast between Beaufort and Charleston, 
          South Carolina. It is pristine, teeming with fish, shrimp and oysters. 
          Scientists call it the cradle of life.
