Among the most unsettling discoveries are a series of creepy dolls, a prosthetic leg and a fiberglass mermaid. at the University of Texas Marine Institute said the items will be auctioned Saturday at the annual Tony’s Trash to Treasure auction at Roberts Point Park in Port Aransas. Jace Tunnell, director of the Mission-Aransas Reserve, told FOX Television Stations, that the odd objects were collected over the past year while conducting weekly surveys along the coastline as they searched for stranded turtles on Mustang Island."We are on the beach weekly looking for nesting and stranded sea turtles, counting endangered species birds, and if we see anything odd, we pick it up and bring it back to the university to the Amos Rehabilitation Keep ," Tunnel said.
Tunnel said "every penny raised" at the auction goes to the ARK to help rehab wounded sea turtles and birds. "We are hoping the doll head goes for lots of money...it's all in fun and good spirit to help the injured animals," Tunnel continued. The ARK, which is mainly run from donations from the community, rehabilitates around 1,500 animals a year and requires a lot of medicine, food and bandages to make their work successful.
