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.
