Aluminum, Red Cedar

Located next to the Nanaimo Yacht Club along the harbour front walkway.

Our oceans are full of amazing creatures and the artists want to get people excited to learn more. This piece celebrates the importance of our oceans to our heritage, economy and environment. The waters off Nanaimo are said to be some of the best diving in the world. One can see Giant Pacific octopus, Wolf eels, Nudibranchs, Anemones, Sea sponges, and much more. Through their artwork, the artists hope to inspire people to think about our connection to the ocean and help protect it.
