'Fish Cemetery' installation art at Fort Kochi Beach
Research across the globe has proved that plastic debris threatens the biodiversity of seawater and freshwater habitats, along with the ecology of the rivers, beaches and the ocean. With a view to disseminate an awareness of this dire situation to the public, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI), Kochi and Cochin Shipyard Limited together conceived the idea of a ‘Fish Cemetery’ installation art, at Fort Kochi beach.
The world is fast approaching a scenario in which non-biodegradable plastic waste destroys the ecosystem of the aquatic organisms and result in harmful effects to marine life, due to consumption of degraded micro-plastics. The objective of the ‘Fish Cemetery’ installation art is to remind us of the precarious condition.
