An annual gathering of environmental organizations, researchers, policymakers, and community members, the GEA EcoBall highlights ongoing conservation work across South Carolina through presentations, exhibitions, and public engagement. The event creates a space where scientific research and visual work intersect, encouraging dialogue around coastal change and environmental responsibility.
Work presented included a documentary photo essay on coastal erosion along South Carolina’s barrier islands, developed in collaboration with the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies and environmental artist Mary Edna Fraser (MaryEdna.com). The project was displayed as part of the event’s visual programming, contributing a field-based perspective on shoreline change and sea level rise. The exhibition setting allowed for direct engagement with attendees, using photography as a way to communicate environmental research in a clear, accessible form.
