THE ACE BASIN

A TREASURED PRESERVE

One of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic Coast, the ACE Basin is comprised of the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto rivers (ACE). Resting primarily in Colleton, Beaufort and Charleston counties, over 250,000 acres of land have been protected here through private and public efforts under the ACE Basin Task Force umbrella. Including the marshes and water, the 350,000 acre area is known for its natural environment and the preservation of its marshes, wetlands, hardwood forests, and riverine systems as well as the fauna that occupy the area.
