The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources hosted a media day during the Bird Key-Stono Seabird Sanctuary renourishment. The project is in conjunction with the Folly Beach Renourishment and the dredging of the Folly River. 40,000 cubic yards of sediment, equal to 4,000 dump trucks, was placed on Bird Key. The placement of the material provides a safe haven for a variety of seabirds, including the brown pelican, the royal tern, and the black skimmer.
