“The saddest thing for a sailor to see is trash
or oil in the water, so the Galveston Bay Foundation mission to preserve and protect the Bay is huge for me. Changing stations were a big need and I am really proud of the work that was done.

marsh grass today was particularly “Planting meaningful. This is my first time doing habitat restoration. We know that Galveston Bay is facing wetland deterioration and this problem is also occurring in my region of China. Galveston Bay Foundation did a great job organizing this event. There were a lot of people who came and I really loved it.
