==Geography==
Morgan Island is a 4,489 acre marshland island that consists of 635 acres of upland. The island is located between the Morgan and Coosaw rivers and borders the Saint Helena Sound to the south and Parrot Creek (Klopchin) to the north. The marshland area includes three major tidal creeks as well as other small creeks.〔 Morgan Island is uninhabited, and is home to a breeding colony of approximately 3,500 free-ranging, Indian-origin Rhesus monkeys (Maier). There is a 370-acre portion of upland that supports a semi-tropical maritime forest where the monkey colony primarily resides.〔
