“Turtles Swimming in a Plastic Ocean” has been selected as a finalist in an art contest whichÂ
addresses the impact of plastic on our oceans. The Chaco Waves for Change is sending oneÂ
artist on a 5 Gyres discovery expedition through the South Pacific Garbage Patch. This is aÂ
tremendous opportunity to further develop artwork on plastic by learning directly from theÂ
people who have done the most research on the impacts of plastic pollution in the ocean.
