October is Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Month! 🌊💙

This month, we honor the people, places, language, foodways, artistry, traditions, and resilience that make Gullah Geechee culture one of America’s most treasured living legacies.

From coastal North Carolina through South Carolina and Georgia to northern Florida, generations of Gullah Geechee people have preserved a culture rooted in community, creativity, faith, and an enduring connection to the land and water.

Throughout October, we’ll share the history, voices, traditions, and communities that make the Corridor so extraordinary.

We welcome oona to follow along, share what you learn, and help us honor the culture while protecting its future.

Honor the culture. Celebrate the people. Preserve the legacy.

To outsiders, the Lowcountry salt marsh might look like empty grass and mud. But to generations of South Carolinians, it has been a grocery store, a livelihood, and a way of life. 🦐
These vast tidal marshes along the coast are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. The golden spartina grass, the winding creeks, and that famous black "pluff mud" form a nursery for shrimp, crabs, oysters, and fish. For centuries, the people of the Lowcountry — including the Gullah Geechee communities — have shrimped, crabbed, and oystered these waters, building entire cultures and cuisines around the marsh's bounty. 🌅
The rhythm of the tides shaped how people lived, worked, and ate, and the smell of pluff mud at low tide is something every Lowcountry native knows in their bones. It's not empty land at all — it's the beating heart of coastal South Carolina.
Does the smell of pluff mud take you right back home? 👇 Tag a fellow Lowcountry soul who knows exactly what you mean.

So someone please enlighten us but does the state of Georgia help their commercial fishermen in anyway?
Georgia farmers damn near get a government check every month. Farmers have a special credit card(Gate Card) which excludes them from paying sales tax on business related expenses & don’t have to pay a road tax on fuel.🤔
