This article examines Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea, a project developed by the Artula Institute for Arts and Environmental Education of Bandon, Oregon. Using art to shed light on issues related to trash found in the ocean environment, the Washed Ashore project brings increased awareness to this growing crisis and the resulting beach litter through a traveling exhibit that features massive, awe-inspiring sculptures constructed of only recovered, recycled trash from the sea. Like many artists, such as Andy Goldsworthy, Alan Sonfist, Marina DeBris, and Aviva Rahmani, the Washed Ashore team creates an eco-art series that "inspires caring and respect for the world in which we live, stimulates dialogue, sparks imagination and contributes to the socio-cultural transformations whereby the diversity of life forms found on earth may flourish" (Wallen, 2012, p. 235). Their pieces offer elementary and middle school students a meaningful and concrete example of an integrative STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) lesson on how art can help renew the ocean ecosystem worldwide.
