SUMMARY: Myrtle Beach is undertaking a beach renourishment project to combat erosion and elevating shorelines, funded by a $72 million contract. This initiative, led by the Army Corps of Engineers, aims to bring sand back to the Grand Strand beaches in response to storms. Dr. Paul Gaye from Coastal Carolina University highlights that while renourishment is a temporary fix, it does not address the rising sea levels exacerbating coastal flooding. As environmental changes accelerate, he suggests it may be time to consider long-term strategies beyond sand replenishment. The project is set to start this spring and will last approximately 18 months.

Throughout the spring, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company will renourish the Grand Strand beaches under a $72 million contract from the United States Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District.

Some experts are questioning how long renourishment (adding sand to the beaches to repair damages after large storms) will be an effective method.

SUMMARY: A Greenville woman, Katherine, reunited with her birth mother after 32 years, thanks to genetic testing. Katherine, adopted as a child, always wanted to find her birth family. In April, she took a 23andMe test and, within two weeks, discovered a half-uncle. He revealed that her biological mother, Lee Ann, had secretly given birth at 15 and had never forgotten her. After years apart, their meeting was emotional, with Katherine gaining not only her birth mother but an extended family. Katherine advises others searching for relatives to be prepared for the possibility that the reunion might not happen.
