Washed Ashore sculptures from trash

Stunning sculptures are made by Washed Ashore using debris found on the coast of Oregon. Giant sharks, birds and seals made of nothing but plastic trash!  The Washed Ashore project is combining artistry, art education and activism to create stunning sculptures, educate the public and clean up our beaches all at the same time.

The idea is that you have to grab people’s attention and no one can resist a huge plastic animal says Angela Haseltine Pozzi, artist, veteran educator and Washed Ashore’s founder.

Washed Ashore is a non-profit organization that relies on donations, grants, sponsorships and volunteers for help, along with income from their unique traveling exhibit. Visit their website washedashore.org and find out how you can get engaged.

Poachers are plundering hammerheads in and around Cocos Island for their fins—and the Costa Rican government is failing to enforce the laws that could stop the slaughter.
