Plastic whale sculpture in London

A basket labeled "Sudo-maru Kuji Port" in Japanese is seen on a giant whale sculpture made from marine plastic waste in London on April 17, 2025. The 11-meter-long sculpture, created to raise awareness of marine pollution, has caused a stir in Japan as it contains what appears to be debris from the massive tsunami triggered by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Kuji was one of the Japanese cities hardest hit by the tsunami.
