Artivist Series - Shelby Thomas
Shelby Thomas’ organization Ocean Rescue Alliance International works to restore marine ecosystems. The non-profit constructs artificial reefs that become living sculptures. They’ve installed more than 300 modules, some in the form of mermaids, off southern Florida. They are ideal spots for coral restoration, marine life, for research and tourism. Shelby is the latest guest on the Wo(men) Mind the Water Artivist Series on womenmindthewater.com.
Artivist Series - Susan Baur
Susan Baur is founder of Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage, a group of women aged 64 and up that dive for sunken garbage in ponds. Their work restores the ponds and enhances the lives of the women. It’s physically demanding work but the women are rewarded with camaraderie, self-satisfaction, and cookies.
