These springs emerge from the Edwards Aquifer, providing a vital water source that supports diverse ecosystems. The Guadalupe Bass, depicted in this sculpture, is a species endemic to Texas, primarily inhabiting the rivers and streams that feed and drain from the Edwards Plateau, including the waters of Comal Springs. This fish is not only a symbol of Texas freshwater ecosystems but also a favorite among anglers for its spirited resistance when hooked. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this unique species which faces threats from habitat loss and hybridization with introduced bass species.
