The Horry-Georgetown Sportsmen's Coalition is made up of of public sportsmen and landowners who are willing to work together at the local level protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and wildlife conservation, while also protecting the rights of property owners and sportsmen.

2.) The education of gun safety, shotgun ballistics, and ethics in waterfowling needs to be addressed, and a plan should be implemented to present this kind of education to the younger generation of waterfowlers.
