Deadly Nets & Plastic Peril: Who Will Save Our Oceans?

End the silent suffering. Stand for marine life—reduce bycatch, cut ocean waste.

In this striking photograph, a person lies on the sand, wrapped in a fishing net, symbolizing the tragic plight of marine mammals caught as bycatch. Plastic waste, including bags, wrappers, and cans, surrounds the individual, emphasizing the relentless invasion of ocean pollution. A plastic cup covers their mouth, underscoring how pollution suffocates both marine life and, indirectly, humanity. The juxtaposition of everyday waste in the sand with the netted figure creates a powerful visual narrative about the dangers of plastic pollution and irresponsible fishing practices. This image calls for immediate action to protect marine ecosystems and reduce ocean waste.
