Maritime forests along the Lowcountry coast are vital for coastal preservation as they protect shorelines from erosion, buffer against storm surges, and maintain biodiversity. These forests act as crucial habitats for wildlife, including endangered species, and support water quality by filtering runoff. Their unique ecosystems also help stabilize sand dunes and contribute to carbon sequestration, making them essential for both environmental health and climate resilience.
