THE
Alligators : More than Meets the Eye
Thursday , October 27 , 2016 @ 3:00PM
You do not want to miss this exiting symposium on Kiawah ’ s most ancient creature and the alligator research currently underway ! The late Professor Lou Guillette , an endocrinologist at the Medical University of South Carolina and expert on alligator biology , often said , “ If the environment is safe for alligators , it is safe for us !” In March 2015 , Guillette and his team began a multi-year study of the alligators on Kiawah Island . The objective is to assess the health of Kiawah ’ s alligator population and compare that with alligator populations at other locations on the southeastern coast .
The Kiawah Conservancy ’ s newest documentary on Kiawah ’ s Alligators featuring local researchers will be premiered during the symposium and speakers will include Matt Guillette , Theresa Cantu , Thomas Rainwater , and other field biologists associated with the ongoing research . During the wine reception and symposium program artists and photographers will display a variety of artwork featuring this magnificent Kiawah icon .
This symposium is co-sponsored by the Kiawah Conservancy and the Kiawah Island Community Association .
