Stunning Underwater Images at Lumas Gallery

Every Second Breath We Take Is Generated By The Oceans

Have you just been on holiday on the sea? And do you also love blue clean waters and nature? Then you might like what a group of artists and Parley for the Oceans did – a contribution to changing our way of thinking about the sea. And it’s absolutely beautiful!

Blue. Pure. Ocean.

Artists Jean-Marie Ghislain and David Fleetham present and exhibition in Zurich of incredible underwater photographs that put the spotlight on the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants.  You can join their vernissage at the Lumas Gallery in Zurich the 15 September, at 7pm. 

Dolphins, Whales and Sharks

My favourite pictures of the exhibition are those of dolphins and sharks – majestic animals that to me are the symbol of beauty and elegance. Let’s try to keep their environment the way it should be.

The Issue – Plastic

A massive amount of plastic trash ends up in our oceans every year. The ocean currents have formed five gigantic, slow moving whirlpools where the plastic collects, nicknamed Vortex.

Recent studies indicate that at least 40 million pounds of plastic has accumulated and is floating in the North Pacific Ocean alone.

 We Also Risk The Health Of Anyone Who Eats Seafood.

If we fail to clean up the plastic and stop the continued pollution of the oceans, we are facing the potential extinction of many sea life species and the interruption of the entire ecosystem. We also risk the health of anyone who eats seafood.

Mission

Awareness campaigns, cleanup operations and recycling initiatives allow Parley to help alleviate immediate threats to marine wildlife and reduce the use of virgin plastics in product design, manufacturing and distribution. In close collaboration with major brands, Parley also works to reduce overall plastic use.

We can only end ocean plastic pollution in the long run if we invent smarter materials and synchronize the economic system of mankind with the ecosystem of nature. Therefore Parley with its global expert network is operating an extensive research and development program to invent alternatives and to establish new industry standards.
