Jessica Hodge+FollowMassive great white shark tracked near CharlestonA 14-foot, 1,600-pound great white shark named Contender just surfaced off the coast of Charleston, and researchers are buzzing. After months feasting up north, he’s heading south—possibly revealing the secret spot where great whites mate, something scientists have never found before. Contender’s journey is more than just a wild migration; it’s a sign that these giants are making a comeback after being nearly wiped out decades ago. Imagine what it would mean for ocean life if we finally learned where these apex predators breed. Anyone else fascinated by how close this is to our backyard? #Science #GreatWhiteShark #Charleston50Share
Joshua Townsend+FollowCharleston’s favorite hospital dog retiresBaskin, the golden retriever who’s been a source of comfort and joy at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, is officially retiring after five and a half years of service. Anyone who’s spent time at the hospital knows how much Baskin’s tail wags could brighten even the toughest days for patients, staff, and families. His impact was so deep that one young patient even requested a Baskin-themed party for his rehab send-off! It’s amazing to see how therapy dogs like Baskin truly become part of the hospital family. What are your favorite memories of therapy animals? #Pets #Charleston #TherapyDogs20Share
Jerry Clark+FollowCharleston’s port keeps goods moving strongCharleston’s port is quietly powering the Southeast, even as shipping slows down across the country. Thanks to the deepest harbor on the East Coast, ships can come and go no matter the tide—meaning fewer delays for local businesses and faster access to goods for everyone. Even with a dip in container volumes, the port’s rail connections are breaking records, especially in Dillon. It’s impressive to see how this teamwork keeps our shelves stocked and our economy humming. How do you think these behind-the-scenes efforts impact your daily life or local business? #Business #Industry #Charleston00Share
