How does DNR decide the land and water boundaries of a seawall.
My mom and sister were told by a Fripp Island security officer today that they could not fish from in front of the rocks that comprise the ocean side of the sea wall. They used a crossover provided by the property owners association and were standing in the sand in front of the rocks at dead low tide but were asked to cease their fishing activities and leave.
Who would be able to give us more information on these policies since the security officer insisted he was following SCDNR policies and not the islands.
I’ve had volunteers and sercurity officers tell me all sorts of stuff. Best thing to do is be nice and tell them to call DNR or you will if there is a problem. Most likely that guy is only beholden to Fripp island. I’ve fished those rocks and would do again. He B.S’ed them and they fell for it!
What does “cross-over” mean? Did they trespass?
the rocks are paid for by the home owner.i’ve been through that already.the last beach access at the south end was washed out a few years back.the rocks on the point are really good fishiing.the guy in the last house use to tell us to leave all the time.i fianlly asked dnr about it.the homeowner has the right to tell you to leave.it sucks but what can you do.fripp security finally put up a sign.the home owner had one up in his yard.the other is now at the edge of the parking lot.i’m glad we sold our place there to much bull****.MOST of the people there are snobs anyway…
Fripp Island security was using SCDNR as the reason for their policy. We just want to know where the law is that states it. My family (79 year old mother and her daughter) were using a public access provided by the Fripp Island Property Owners Assoc that we also pay dues. They really felt like they had been bullied by someone with a badge. we just want to determine the law here.
