Team Name: Up to Snow Good
Sculpture Title: Gracious Struggle
Artist Statement: Sea turtles have occupied our seas since the time of the dinosaurs. Six of the seven marine species are currently threatened with extinction. Only one of every one thousand hatchlings make it to adulthood. Slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin and shells, sea turtles suffer from poaching and over exploitation. They also face habitat destruction and accidental capture - known as "bycatch" - in fishing gear.
