Keep South Carolina Wild
July 28, 2022
Through experiencing the beauty of a lake, river, or ocean, sharing exciting moments with friends, and being present to the peace that only the outdoors can produce, fishing can inspire us to connect to our planet and become the stewards we were meant to be.
Our beautiful SC roadsides, forests, and waterways are becoming filled with litter. The first step in reducing the amount of litter in SC is to simply notice it exists and it is a problem. That’s why we created the “Plishing” challenge, where we are asking anglers to pick up litter while they are fishing anywhere in SC.
PLISHING, a combination of the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”, meaning litter pick up, and fishing, is our new effort to conserve and enjoy South Carolina’s aquatic resources. Even if you don’t fish, we encourage you to pick up litter wherever you see it, but we also encourage you to pick up a fishing rod and gather with friends and family to enjoy the excitement and beauty that a shoreline fishing trip can provide.
