With the arrival of warmer weather, alligators will become more active. Please remember the below safety precautions regarding alligators in our community:

• Assume every body of water contains an alligator
• Stay at least 60 feet (4 car lengths) away from alligators
• Alligators are ambush predators and can move faster than you or your pets
• Keep yourself, pets and children away from water’s edge
• Swimming or wading is prohibited in Sea Pines’ waterways
• Feeding or harassing alligators is dangerous and illegal
• When fishing or crabbing do not throw used bait or fish parts into the water
