Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea at Tucson Botanical Garden

Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea comes to Tucson Botanical Garden this spring and is a non-profit organization committed to combating plastic pollution in the ocean and waterways. See larger than life sea creatures constructed entirely from marine debris. Each sculpture illustrates the tragedy of plastic pollution and aims to encourage conversations about conservation and how individuals can reduce the amount of single-use plastics
in their lives to help improve water quality. In ten years, Washed Ashore has processed over 35 tons of plastic
pollution from the Pacific Northwest’s ocean
beaches to create over 85 works of art that are
awakening the hearts and minds of viewers to the global marine debris crisis.
