Jonesy is a 32-foot, 2,500 pound metal sculpture designed to educate the public to fight plastic pollution in our Ocean!
Plastic pollutes our beaches, bays, and harbors; and is harmful to fish, turtles, birds, and other wildlife. Help us to combat plastic pollution by participating in a beach cleanup and the unveiling of a giant whale metal sculpture. This event brings together art and environmental activism.
Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Atlantic Marine Conservation Society will be joining Governor Cuomo and a coalition of water protection advocates for beach cleanup followed by a press event unveiling Jonesy the Whale, a 3D art instillation crafted from mesh metal. We will be filling Jonesy with the plastic pollution we collect. The end result will be a large-scale sculpture of the whale, which will symbolize the hazards of marine debris and serve as a reminder for the public to never leave garbage on the beach!
Please RSVP to education@amseas.org or 631.317.0030 to participate in the beach cleanup.
