A student in Grosseto prepares to launch an artwork designed as a habitat for octopuses, steering clear of illegal fishing traps. In a creative effort to protect marine ecosystems, artists collaborate by sinking sculptures and concrete blocks in the Mediterranean Sea. This initiative aims to combat the destructive impact of trawling nets on fishing grounds. The project transforms the underwater landscape, promoting both marine life preservation and artistic expression in Talamone, Italy.
Artists' sculptures are sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean sea along with concrete blocks to break the nets of the trawlers that devastate marine life.
