The poster was based on the article "Overfished and under-protected: Oceans on the brink of catastrophic collapse" on CNN's Going Green environment edition. The article tackles the issue of trawl fishing and the devastating harm it causes to oceanic seabeds and the marine life that habitat in these areas. The poster seeks to be a visual guide as for viewers to understand what is trawl fishing and what it does to ocean beds.

 

The poster was designed digitally, die-cut, torn by hand, photographed and finally colour corrected to its final outcome.
