Say no to plastic! Mural by SMUG in Margate, UK
Trusted by 1.7M+ on Facebook ↗
Street Artist SMUG
By SMUG ONE at 31 Canterbury Rd. in Margate, UK. For Rise Up Residency, curated by Louis Masai. Photo by M_FRENCHI and Anne.
M_FRENCHI: Organised to raise awareness pf the ocean conservation and the issues raised by plastic near and in our oceans.
Anne: Both grey and harbour seals live along our local coastline. Sadly the seals often fall victim to things like ghost nets, six-pack drink pulls, boats and jet skis. This mural is inspired by local activism and the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) who help save our ocean wildlife.
