With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, we create spaces that inspire, elevate, and enrich the lives of those who inhabit them.

Now the Leatherbacks, sadly these turtles population has declined 40% in the last three generations and there are only 34,000-96,000 adult Leatherbacks left >:( .

Their predators are almost the same as the Loggerheads but humans are also a big threat because of bycatch while hunting and egg harvesting. Leatherbacks live in all oceans except for Atlantic and the Antarctic oceans they also migrate 10,000 miles every year between the feeding and nesting areas.

“Leatherbacks, i like em’…….. yeah, Nellie Pease made this art, I like it!”
