Background

Marlow’s Maiden is named for Chris Marlow. Chris Marlow, was a native of Pawleys Island, SC. He became a member of the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network in 1982. In 1989 Chris, along with Jeff McClary, organized SCUTE (South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts), a volunteer group covering over 50 miles of coastline. They were also instrumental in getting Georgetown County to pass the first beachfront lighting ordinance in the state, and partnered with Santee Cooper (a state electricity producer) to shield lights and produce and distribute “Lights Out” TV spots and bumper stickers. In 1993, the South Carolina Wildlife Federation honored SCUTE with the Best Conservation Organization award.
