The dangers of ghost nets on sea turtles and other marine life are well documented but there remains the problem that the unwanted nets are often still floating around causing problems. “This is especially concerning, as Northern Australia and the Torres Strait are a feeding and nesting ground for six of the seven turtle species in the world (from Sea Museum)” My acrylic painting is about bringing awareness to the dangers of discarded and unwanted nets.
