CCC's Street Art Contest #128 MarMotto, Faro, Portugal

Just recently after I visited Faro for thw first time I´ve found a pretty cool mural with an important message. As we drove out of town, we passed under a bridge and I was immediately struck by this huge colorful work of art. I immediately looked for a parking space, ran back and took a few photos.

This piece of art already looks a bit older but the message that the artist MarMotto wants to tell us still stands. Although I think it might be too late already here at the Algarve.

Our oceans need to be protected from overfishing.

This time I really had to take a few shots of it as it was simply to big to get the details on one shot. The whole mural was easily 15-20m in length.

I absolutely love and support the message behind that piece of art. I spend a lot of time in the water surfing and what I saw here in Portugal is the fact that I don´t see anything. No fish or other marine life at all. In the past 2 years I´ve spent easily 50 days in the water surfing and the only thing I saw was one Octopus and a few tiny little fishes...that´s it. When I was surfing Australia, what probably has a similar problem, I saw Dolphins, big fishes, Manta Rays, Sharks, Turtles and so on...
