13132600. Turtle approaching surgical glove drifting in the ocean
Turtle approaching surgical glove drifting in the ocean. The glove looks like a jellyfish which is one of its common foods. The Covid-19 crisis has spurred rapid production of surgical masks, gloves, and other protective equipment. Those are desperately-needed plastic products; governments are racing to boost their stockpiles and regular citizens clamoring for their share of supplies. Such production is necessary, but a great part of plastic ends up traveling through sewers and waterways to the sea. Date

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
"Oops! Looks like this turtle mistook a surgical glove for its favorite jellyfish snack! 🐢🧤 But let's not be too hard on our little friend, because this photo captures a bigger issue at hand. With the Covid-19 crisis, there has been an urgent need for protective equipment like gloves and masks. However, the production of these necessary plastic products has led to a surge in pollution. As governments and citizens rush to stockpile supplies, many of these items end up discarded and making their way into our sewers and waterways. Unfortunately, they eventually find their way to the ocean where marine wildlife becomes unwitting victims of our plastic waste. This image serves as a powerful reminder that we must find sustainable solutions to tackle both the pandemic and environmental challenges. It's time for us all to rethink how we use and dispose of single-use plastics. So next time you're tempted to toss away your mask or gloves carelessly, remember that every piece counts in protecting our beautiful oceans. Let's work together towards cleaner seas by reducing plastic waste and finding eco-friendly alternatives. And hey Mr. Turtle, don't worry - we'll make sure you get some real jellyfish soon enough!" 🌊🌍
