There's an interesting video about it.
"Species Encounter: Dive In!,
an interactive installation is an allegory
for the plastic we consume ending up
invading the seas and oceans,
being absorbed and eaten by many different
marine species and threatening them.
In the installation, the animals shapes
of fish (like lanternfish and opah),
sea turtles (like leatherback sea turtle and hawksbill turtle)
and marine mammals (like harbor seals, sperm whales and dolphins),
are made of recyclable cardboard.
The center of each shape is filled
with recycled plastic packaging...."

"...When you look at the ocean from the beach
it mostly looks stunningly beautiful.
Yes. But billions of pounds of plastic
can be found in the oceans around the globe.
Plastic pollution has become a growing plague,
clogging our waterways, and damaging marine ecosystems.
44 percent of all seabird species, 22 percent of cetaceans,
all sea turtle species and a growing list of fish species
have been documented with plastic in or around their bodies.
Most of what we eat, drink, or use in any way
comes packaged in petroleum plastic
- a material designed to last forever,
yet used for products that we then throw away.
Seeking out alternatives to the plastic items
that we rely on is an absolute necessity."
It would be fantastic
reduce the use of plastic.
Every drop is important
and many drops make an ocean.
