What is Sea Islands?
[[Image:Sea Islands map.png|right|300px|thumb|Map of the Sea Islands]] The '''Sea Islands''' are a chain of tidal and [[barrier island]]s on the Southeastern [[Atlantic Ocean]] coast of the [[United States]]. There are over a hundred of them. They are between the mouths of the [[Santee River|Santee]] and [[St. Johns River]]s along the coast of the [[U.S. state|US states]] of [[South Carolina]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], and [[Florida]]. Barrier islands like these may change during [[storm]]s. They [[absorb]] [[energy]] and protect the [[coastline]]s. Indirectly, they may help to create areas of protected waters where [[wetlands]] may flourish. The Sea Islands are the home of the [[Gullah]] people. {{South Carolina}} {{Georgia (U.S. state)}} [[Category:Islands of the United States]] [[Category:Islands of Florida]] [[Category:Geography of Georgia (U.S. state)]] [[Category:Geography of South Carolina]]
