This piece confronts the devastating impact of human activity on marine life and our planet. The title, "Net Change," serves as a double entendre, highlighting both the physical threat of fishing nets and the urgent need for significant environmental action. The turtle, a symbol of resilience and longevity, struggles against the suffocating consequences of pollution and climate change, underscoring the fragility of ecosystems once thought to be eternal. This piece invites viewers to reflect on their role in preserving the ocean and calls for collective responsibility to create a future where wildlife can thrive unimpeded by human negligence.
