Bird Pecked Foam
The face was created using foam that had been pecked by sea birds. The birds thought that foam was food so modeled it by trying to eat it.

The Sign
The sign read on the left: From seabirds and fish to marine mammals, all animals are impacted by plastic trash in the ocean. Whether they directly ingest bits of plastic, consume fish that have eaten small plastic fragments, or become entangled in packing straps or nets, the harm is real and deadly. Entanglement in plastic is one of the most obvious hazards. Painfully restricting movement and cutting into skin, plastic can cause injuries or death to marine mammals. And on the right: Every Action Counts!
