Andrew Orgill is a wildlife rehabilitator based out of Nueces county, Texas. For many years, Orgill has worked at the Amos Rehabilitation Keep (or ARK) which is a part of the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute. In addition to this work with sea turtles and marine birds, Orgill also specializes in mammal rehabilitation under permits from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. He is also the only current employee at the ARK who worked under Tony Amos, the original legendary founder of the facility.
Over the past several years, Orgill has become an icon in the Port Aransas community helping to lead an organized group to educate, protect, and conserve the natural resources of Mustang Island and the surrounding areas. Sea turtles and many species of coastal birds are in serious decline, threatened, or endangered, often due to human threats. The work done by local rehabilitators is crucial to ensuring the survival of these species.
Andrew Orgill, who currently leads the Amos Rehabilitation Keep (or ARK) has extensive experience in not only rehabilitation, but also in public education and other areas of conversation including sea turtle nesting work. The ARK works annually to protect the nests of sea turtles on Mustang and San Jose Islands, especially those of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle. Orgill has presented a number of lectures and public presentations to communities near and far advocating for wildlife and educating others of much needed conservation.
Orgill is one of twelve wildlife rehabilitators in the state of Texas who are internationally accredited Certified Wildlife Rehabilitators under the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.[1] This list continues to grow as more individuals seek high levels of professional accreditation.
