He did research around the world. In Port Aransas, he’s remembered best for his animal work. He started rehabilitating injured birds and sea animals here in the 1970s — especially turtles.</p> <p>Tunnell was giving me a tour a place once known as the Animal Rehabilitation Keep, or ARK.  Tony founded it decades ago. It sits next to the Aransas Ship Channel, and, like nearly everything on the island, it did not fare well during <a href="http://kut.org/term/hurricane-harvey">Hurricane Harvey</a>.</p> <p>“This used to all be bird cages here, they were totally collapsed,” said Jace Tunnell, gesturing to what looked an area with some rough wood framing set up on it.  </p> <p><div class="wysiwyg-asset-image-wrapper wide">   <div class="wysiwyg-asset-image">     <a href="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/x_large/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg" class="popup">       <img class="pi_assets-image" data-interchange-default="http://kutnews.org/sites/kut/files/styles/default/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg" data-interchange-small="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/small/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg" data-interchange-medium="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/medium/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg" data-interchange-large="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/large/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg" />       <noscript>         <img src="http://kutnews.org/sites/kut/files/styles/default/public/201710/36747793094_5b9421bab5_o__1_.jpg"  alt="What remains of the Animal Rehabilitation Keep, now known as the Amos Rehabilitation Keep.

ARK is a part of it. He says staffers managed to evacuate the animals that were being cared for here before the storm. But, structurally, Harvey left nothing undamaged.</p> <p>In a painful coincidence, Amos passed away from pancreatic cancer just a few days after the storm came through. </p> <p>“It’s totally destroyed out here in Port Aransas,” said Tunnell. “Tony’s passing away was kind of mixed all up in that.”</p> <p>Amos was on a trip home from viewing the recent eclipse when the hurricane took aim at the coast. He and his family stopped in San Antonio, where he was admitted to the hospital. That’s where he passed away on Sept. 4.</p> <p>“He never got to see the ARK destroyed,” said Tunnell. “That’s a good thing.”</p> <p><strong>Counting Everything</strong></p> <p>One of the things Tony Amos is best known for is his beach survey.  A few days a week, he’d walk along Mustang Island and simply count things — birds, helicopters, dogs, people and the garbage that washed up on shore.</p> <p><div class="wysiwyg-asset-image-wrapper left">   <div class="wysiwyg-asset-image">     <a href="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/x_large/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg" class="popup">       <img class="pi_assets-image" data-interchange-default="http://kutnews.org/sites/kut/files/styles/default/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg" data-interchange-small="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/small/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg" data-interchange-medium="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/medium/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg" data-interchange-large="http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/large/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg" />       <noscript>         <img src="http://kutnews.org/sites/kut/files/styles/default/public/201710/36747787954_2f5eae0770_o.jpg"  alt="Pamela Plotkin now directs the Texas Sea Grant.

To prove her point about trash and stories, she showed me a green plastic bottle she’d just found. It had six or so diamond-shaped bite marks in it.</p> <p>“Each of those is a bite by a sea turtle,” she said. “Probably a loggerhead sea turtle.”</p> <p>She says more garbage has been washing up since the hurricane. She expects it to continue for some time.</p> <p><strong>Back to the Sea</strong></p> <p>At the funeral Lynn Amos read from Rupert Brooke’s <em><a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47294/the-dead-56d227a2ea215">The Dead</a></em>.

It appears the latest thinking on the subject flips things around – embrace the water, don’t just repel it.</p> <p></p></div></div></div>    </div>
