Because of an ongoing statewide drought, water levels in Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie have stayed below normal operating ranges for over a month, and Santee Cooper continues to follow our Drought Contingency Plan. St. Stephen Hydro Station operations are being reduced to help maintain lake water levels. Other utility operations are not changed at this time, and no immediate impacts are expected for nearby communities or public lake access. We continue to monitor water levels and will provide updates as drought conditions change.

Introducing the SCDNR Marsupial Team!

With one of the best sniffers in the animal kingdom, the decision to add opossums to our team was an easy one. This new kid on the block has already sniffed circles around our existing K9 Team and is much better adapted to tracking under nighttime conditions.

Not only does he have excellent tracking skills, but he also eats all the ticks and bugs along the trail, leading to better working conditions for his handler, a skillset that our K9’s just can’t offer.

Another perk of transitioning to opossums is that they’re resistant to snake venom which comes in very handy during long tracks across South Carolina’s variable terrain.

We can’t wait to get this little fella trained up and in the field to help protect our states natural resources!
