Behind the Scenes

Sea Lion Keepers Save a Sea Turtle While Picking Up Trash

Houston Zoo sea lion keepers are dedicated to reducing plastic trash in our ocean, as this is a major threat to sea lions. Locally, for over two years, this group of Houston Zoo keepers has made regular trips to the Surfside jetty, picking up trash and recyclables to reduce the threat of plastic entanglement to Texas species. On this trip, our sea lion team rescued a sea turtle that had been entangled in fishing line.
