I’m posting about the #ocean today so I can breathe tomorrow. It’s transactional. I’m okay with that. #worldoceanday

🌊 We are delighted to share β€˜Beneath the Ocean Horizon,’ a painting by Diandra Madeline, inspired by #IconicFishes, in honour of #WorldOceanDay! 🌊

After a visit to UBC's Beaty Biodiversity Museum and learning about the Inspired by #IconicFishes movement, Diandra was inspired to connect art, science, and conservation through her creativity and ultimately this extraordinary piece. Her art celebrates our #IconicFishes and our goal of inspiring others to create.

This #WorldOceanDay, we’re calling for greater attention to what bottom trawling catches, what it damages, and what must be protected. https://projectseahorse.org/all-eyes-on-a-healthy-ocean-this-worldoceanday/
