The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/1mhI6Hm suit) that two property owners are suing over a town policy regulating the trimming shrubs along a strip of land between the beach and their oceanfront property. The Department of Natural Resources says the maritime forest protects nesting sea turtles, bird habitat and has 125 plant species. The lawsuit notes that animals living in the maritime forest have attacked people and pets and criminals can hide there.
