About the Amos Rehabilitation Keep
The Amos Rehabilitation Keep, or ARK, rehabilitates marine turtles and marine birds from the coastal zone of Mustang Island and St. Joseph Island. Named after University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute research associate Anthony F. Amos, part of the organization’s mission is to release those animals that recover back to their native habitat and educate the public about local wildlife and human impacts on our coastal area. According to UT’s website, Amos has spent more than 25 years surveying Gulfside beaches while monitoring the effects of weather and garbage in the areas. He often finds injured birds, turtles, and other creatures.
