Todays guest speaker was Karla Kay, the founding director of Artist Boat— a 501(c)(3) begun in 2003 to provide unique eco-art programs that provide hands-on, place-based and experimental learning in the context of marine ecosystems and coastal margins of the Texas Coast.
Through Karla Kay’s leadership, 180,000 youth and members of the public have restored 60+ acres of coastal habitats, created public art interpreting coastal ecosystems on 50 campuses and the Galveston Seawall.
