Living near coastal New England has increased my interest in protecting the ocean. Along with this gorgeous blue whale watercolor, here are some coastal cleanup facts: According to Surfrider Foundation, the top 5 items found during beach cleanups are cigarette butts, plastic beverage bottles, food wrappers, plastic bottle caps, and plastic straws. Plastics aren't biodegradable and wreak havoc on the ecosystem, making it so important to keep our coast clean. #wallart #watercolor
