We collaborated to paint a series of mobile ocean advocacy murals on fisherman's boats that reminds us all of what's at stake for ourselves and future generations.
During the course of painting, we hosted a series of conversations and interviews with the fishermen about the importance of sustainable fishing, the impact of plastic pollution and passing on ocean stewardship to the next generation.
