Fish showing internal pollution debris
Educational display communicates the impact of plastic pollution
Human waste impacts our marine life! Congratulations to the New South Wales government for drawing attention to the impact of human waste on birds and marine life.
This 2.4-metre-high pelican sculpture and 3-metre fish sculpture were produced for the NSW government to draw attention to the plight of sea creatures and birds that are ingesting the plastic waste of humans. Unfortunately, we humans have allowed millions of tonnes of remnant plastics to enter the world’s rivers and oceans.
The exhibit showcases a pelican overwhelmed by plastic bag waste and a giant cod with an exploding stomach containing waste (cigarette butts, crab traps, fishing lines, rope waste, plastic straws, cups, and drink bottles).
It is hoped that these larger-than-life reconstructions will shock the public into changing their bad habits and encourage greater recycling efforts for the sake of Planet Earth.
This project was a dream opportunity for Natureworks to combine our skills in fabrication with our passion to draw attention to the challenges facing the world. There’s a desperate need for immediate change by individuals and organisations to clean up their act for the sake of our wildlife!
