Inspired activism...stopping illegal fishing one statue at a time.

The Mediterranean Sea is in crisis. Once a thriving spot for biodiversity, it is now the most overfished sea in the world and, according to the WWF, is "on the verge of burnout."

Why? Bottom trawling—a destructive fishing method where nets are dragged along the seabed, catching or destroying everything in their path.

For our 21st Planet Wild mission, we're supporting a beautiful and effective method to stop bottom trawling and protect marine life: an underwater sculpture museum.
