The SplashTrash Tour promotes dialogue and action around plastic in our oceans and what we can do to make a difference.
In 2017, we toured six premier locations along the Florida coast - from Walton County to Key West. Each one unique. Each one special. Pop-Up Shows, presentations, educational activities with youth, making Catch of the Day collaborative art projects, interviews with the media and more.
Catch of the Day Collaborative Art Project
Installation art that illustrates how by 2050 there will be more pounds of plastic in the ocean than pounds of fish. Created with local volunteers during the 2017 SplashTrash Tour.

SplashTrash Story
Have you ever had an epiphany? An experience that totally changes your life? Seeing the amount of trash on the beach and in the ocean during a Caribbean vacation was so devastating, I knew I had to do something to make a difference.
This is where it all started - trying to make something positive out of all that trash. Who knew that a $2.00 glue gun and some string would lead to all of this?
Thank you!
Thank you to all of you who made a donation to the SplashTrash Tour. Friends, family, host organizations and complete strangers. You made a difference!
