Turning plastic ocean pollution into sea-saving art
Clip: 7/12/2016 | 2m 5s
17 larger than life sea creatures have taken up residence in Washington this summer.
At the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, a massive exhibit made entirely of 315 pounds of plastic pollution fished from the Pacific is on display. Called "Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea," it features 17 sculptures, from jellyfish to shark. The lesson? The ocean's deadliest predator is trash. In our NewsHour Shares moment of the day, Julia Griffin pays the plastic sea creatures a visit.
