| Cruise Ship, Charleston Harbor, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok A large cruise ship is docked along a pier in Charleston Harbor. The recent frequency of cruise ship visits has elevated tourism in Charleston, but a debate now rages over the pros and cons of their presence. On the one hand, a fortune of tourist dollars is generated by the ships, but on the other hand the environmental impact of large boats in the harbor degrades flora and fauna, and the traffic generated around the waterfront disturbs local residents. The Charleston Board of Architectural Review is working hard to find a solution to the problem, the ever elusive balance between quality of life and profit. |
