Description of Pictures: Turtle Ocean
June 8, 2016 – Closing TBD
An art installation by Angela Haseltine Pozzi of the Washed Ashore Project composed entirely of marine debris, Turtle Ocean depicts an entangled Hawksbill turtle swimming in an environment of water bottle sea jellies and beached flip flop anemones along with marine debris seaweed and coral made of old buoys, crates and buckets. Hawksbill sea turtles face many threats, including mistakenly ingesting marine trash for food. All six species of sea turtles found in U.S. waters are threatened or endangered. Included in this display is a partially bleached coral reef depicted with faded plastics and polystyrene foam to raise awareness about the plight of coral reefs worldwide.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SINHTO_160608_24.JPG: Turtle Ocean: Entangled in a fishing net, Maury the hawksbill turtle swims toward a bleached coral reef in search of a tasty meal. To Maury's dismay the tempting jellyfish and sea sponges are deadly plastic bags and polystyrene foam. Every piece of plastic in this display, once discarded, ended up on an ocean beach. Plastics don't just go away. They fill our watersheds and wash out to the ocean, where they break down into pieces often ingested by marine animals. Plastic pollution is a global problem. You can make a difference by creating less waste, purchasing renewable and biodegradable products, and making sure your trash ends up in the trash.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
