Turtle Ward Walls
This week the crew from Target Construction has been busy erecting walls around NMLC’s new sea turtle ward. The walls are made of a moisture and mold resistant drywall affixed to metal studs. A layer of “FRP” (fiberglass reinforced panels) is then glued to the drywall in order to provide a durable, washable surface. Washable is very important! Soon, we’ll be ready for sea turtles!
