Our oceans are not only the habitat of fishes, plants, corals but also have a significant amount of undesirable materials like plastic pieces, rubber fragments, metals and other wastes. Sometimes they remain suspended while at times are washed ashore. We have already seen some jewelry from reclaimed plastic pieces but what we have here are beautiful fishes put together from drift-wood.
