Program areas at South Carolina Environmental Law Project

In the face of the worsening climate crisis and escalating loss of wildlife, habitat, and healthy ecosystems, in 2021 scelp adopted a new 5- year plan, including three ambitious programmatic goals. To protect life-sustaining natural systems, scelp has continued acting as the last line of defense against harmful land uses, using litigation and advocacy to establish new and better Law for land, water and wildlife; and supporting nature-based laws and policies that promote resilience and adaptation. To protect water from current and future threats, scelp has been advocating for sustainable water uses, for conservation and restoration of water quality and aquatic life, and for legal protections for state-of-the art stormwater and floodplain practices. To advance Environmental justice across South Carolina, scelp's legal advocacy has been countering Environmental inequities in frontline communities, carrying forward scelp's original motto "no case is too small" whenever a vulnerable community seeks assistance in our areas of expertise. Our ares of expertise include coastal management, water and wetlands, wildlife and habitat conservation, landfills, nuclear and toxic waste. Each program service includes legal advice and consultation, legal advocacy to improve projects and management decisions without the need for litigation, and formal legal challenges and enforcement actions.
