"The Water We're Swimming In, is by by Elaine Alder.
Located at the New Bedford Whaling Museum's Captain Paul Cuffe Park, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park artist-in-resident Elaine Alder teamed up with NOAA Marine Debris to create these steel sculptures woven with recycled fishing line, plastic rope, and tires.
The sculptures, made from recycled marine debris, symbolize actual endangered North Atlantic Right Whales who currently swim through an ocean filled with plastic and marine debris.
The project is the 11th NOAA Marine Debris Sculpture featured at National Parks nationwide. This weekend, the project was officially opened with a ceremony and blessing from community members and Pocasset Wampanoag members of the Pokanoket Nation and Métis Nation.
"The Water We're Swimming In" will be displayed through September 2027.

The ArtistElaine contacted me on Facebook and shared the followign with me

Thank you for sharing! So glad you enjoyed it! Making it was a collaboration with so many people, from cleaning the beach, to community weaving events to weave the colorful flukes and flipper. Their names aren’t marked on site, but each whale has markings specific to real, living North Atlantic right whales. Clockwise from the tail, their names are Crest, Batman, Butterfly, and Ruffian. Some of their stories are available online if you look them up on NOAA’s website.
I did a quick look just now and couldnt find the info about them but will search again after sharing this

the creativity of the artist to come up with this idea blows me away, so talented and I love this art piece.

The boards to the side show lots of information about the ocean and such I did read them all but didnt think to take photos of them at the time

Good morning, dear friend @tattoodjay

I love street art, especially when it's created with recycled materials.

Beautiful works, very meaningful.

I think she did a great job! Taking the garbage from the ocean and turning it a thing of beauty rather than the eyesore it used to be. I like it much better in the art than in the water taking a swim with you! lol It must be an interesting process they use to make the rope material out of the garbage, there must be a huge industry for it if you can make a strong enough material. I learned something new today, so the day wasn't wasted!

How's your shoulder treating you these days? The mornings any warmer yet?

A very interesting piece 👀. I think this art itself is a sign of how our seas CA be in a future... Full of solids and with no place to swim (and I'm not talking about just whales).

Cheers 💜
