GEA will host SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL CLEANUP in Myrtle Beach as part of GEA’s ongoing series of statewide trash and debris “cleanups” and as the only thus-far state-registered event commemorating World Ocean Day.

“World Ocean Day is an internationally recognized day that encourages the education and implementation of worldwide sustainable development goals in terms of our oceans and seas, bringing about greater conviction in the protection of the ocean and the sustainable management of its resources,” Mullikin said in a news release.

Mullikin is also planning for the month-long SOUTH CAROLINA 7 (SC7) expedition across the Palmetto State from the mountains to the sea with mini clean-up events along the way.

As for this week’s walk, President Smith is using the time to pray with fellow hikers for revival at CIU, and the nation.

“I am pushing myself both physically and spiritually to humble myself before God,” Smith posted on Facebook. “May God be glorified. Join me in prayer.”
