From the tires at the base of the sculpture, to his bottle-capped beak, Pete the Pelican at Shem Creek is covered by marine trash to raise awareness of the ever-growing problem of marine debris and how it affects local waterways and sea life.
Pete the Plastic Pelican
Pretty cool , done by a student, so gives me hope that the youth can change the world.
Indeed Vijay!
This is beautiful and sad. I love the artwork and sad that we as a human race are so apathetic to our beautiful earth 🌎
Totally agree, Ellen!
What a great reuse of junk! Too bad it accumulates in the first place.
Indeed!
My daughter was one of the students that created Pete. I’m still proud of them!!
Wow Dee! Such a poignant message by Pete!
