“S” is for South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Officially formed in 1994, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) combined the nonregulatory programs of the South Carolina Water Resources Commission and Land Resources Commission, the State Geological Survey, the South Carolina Migratory Waterfowl Committee, and the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department. SCDNR is governed by a policy making board of directors consisting of seven members who are appointed by and serve at the will of the governor. The General Assembly established the agency to provide for conservation, management, utilization, and protection of the state's natural resources. To accomplish these goals the agency is divided into several divisions covering different areas of responsibility. Per its mission statement, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is “the advocate for and steward of the state’s natural resources.”
