A Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle—the world’s rarest and most endangered sea turtle species—nests on a new beach near the corner of Seawall and 86th Street. The new beach is giving marine life an added habitat for nesting thanks to an ongoing partnership between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District, the Galveston Park Board of Trustees, the City of Galveston, and the Texas General Land Office.
