Moody Gardens, Sponsor
“Moody Gardens has been a long-time partner in supporting local sea turtle conservation efforts, so the opportunity to be a part of the Turtles About Town project was an easy decision. Working with a collaboration of like-minded organizations and individuals to bring attention to the challenges that sea turtles face and everyday actions that can be taken to improve the natural world around us is a core tenet of our mission. Beyond that, being a part of a city-wide public art project that showcases our quirky island lifestyle is a refreshing reminder of why we work and live here.”
