Disgusting!!! TOTALLY disgusting. How hard is it to keep your garbage with you so you can toss it in a garbage can or better yet.... recycle it. These people are worse than the cigarette smokers that flick butts out car windows when they've got an ashtray right in their car.

The art exhibit strikes me more as a "Gee whiz, look what they did" than a prod to viewers about what the problem really is. I don't know what the answer is, but I wouldn't walk away from this exhibit with any clue as to what could be done.

I agree it IS a piece of art but it's also stimulating others to collect the trash not only in that location but other coastline areas as well.
It's getting people to THINK about the actual quantity of things polluting our seas, our earth. If it hinders people in the least bit from tossing things onto the ground, into the water, into the ditches. It's a good thing. It was worth the effort.

Mussels are very good sifters. I believe they use them to clean up areas but now see they too are suffering from mans input.
