Texas’ coastal reserve, Mission-Aransas, is known for its unique discoveries. Research teams find weird items like barnacle-covered baby dolls that go viral and catch the attention of celebrities. Led by Jace Tunnell, the reserve’s surveyors search for stranded sea turtles, endangered species, and marine debris that washes up on the shore. Over 500 tons of debris arrive each year, including items from around the world. To promote public outreach and charity, the reserve hosts an annual auction called Tony’s Trash to Treasure this Saturday. The proceeds go to Amos Rehabilitation Keep, which rescues and rehabilitates injured wildlife.
