New York Aquarium ‘Washed Ashore’ Experience

The New York Aquarium is debuting a traveling art exhibit, “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea” to message about how plastics polluting the environment are harmful to wildlife and people.  An estimated 9 million tons of plastic enter the ocean annually. Once plastic enters our waterways, it is deadly for many species and negatively impacts animals and people. This transformative art experience features 35 sculptures in 14 different scenes made entirely from marine debris, highlighting the scale and impact of plastic pollution in a visually stunning and emotionally compelling way.

Admission to the Washed Ashore experience is included with the purchase of a ticket to the New York Aquarium. Visitors are encouraged to buy tickets in advance to secure their opportunity to experience this impactful exhibit and spend time encountering more than 8,000 animals from over 500 species.
