Murrells Inlet 2020 is hosting a public forum on Jan. 26 to discuss designating Murrells Inlet as a bird sanctuary.

The forum will be held at the Murrells Inlet Community Center, located at 4450 Murrells Inlet Road, beginning at 6 p.m.

Sen. Ray Cleary, R-Georgetown, introduced a bill to create a bird sanctuary in the inlet in April of the 2016 state legislative session.
