Bottle caps and flip flops are just some of the items that create this giant fish which is part of the “Washed Away” exhibit currently at the John Ball Zoo. The exhibit features collections of intricate, beautifully designed, giant sea life sculptures made entirely of marine debris collected from the beaches of Oregon. The sculptures of marine life graphically illustrate the tragedy of plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways to inspire others to be actively engaged in ocean conservation. This exhibit features 16 large and colorful sculptures throughout the Zoo and is included in the cost of daily admission.
To help build awareness, at each sculpture is a list of discarded items to find in the sculpture. “Washed Away” will be at the John Ball Zoo, 1300 W. Fulton St., through the end of the season.
