WHAT IS NESTFEST?
SPLASh, Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, Gulf Center for Sea Turtle Research, Surfside TX, and the Galveston Bay Area Chapter - Texas Master Naturalists teamed up to host NESTFEST! This large-scale cleanup event will remove marine debris from important coastal habitats that are used by beach nesting bird and sea turtle species. Texas beaches are critical habitats for these animals, and we want to make sure they are ready for the incoming females to lay their eggs!
