Unveiling of “Shelley the Sea Turtle”
A 6-foot metal sculpture designed to educate the public to fight plastic pollution in Long Island Sound!
Plastic pollutes our beaches, bays, and harbors; and is harmful to fish, turtles, birds, and other wildlife. Help us to combat plastic pollution by participating in a beach cleanup and the unveiling of a giant sea turtle metal sculpture. This event brings together art and environmental activism. Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Atlantic Marine Conservation Society are hosting a beach cleanup at Sunken Meadow State Park, followed by the unveiling of Shelley the Sea Turtle, a 3D art instillation crafted from mesh metal and will be filled with the plastic pollution we collect.
The end result will be a large-scale sculpture of a sea turtle, which will symbolize the hazards of marine debris and serve as a reminder for the public to never leave garbage on the beach! Please RSVP to education@amseas.org or 631.317.0030 to participate in the beach cleanup.
