Note: 

"More than 8 million tonnes of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year. Our marine life can't cope. I loved using this world map to convey this message. I drew it in pencil then with watercolour coloured pencil (and chalk for the plastic bag). I love maps!" "Please note: this map has chalk on it, so please do not touch the 'plastic bag' part as it will smudge and come off. Thanks." Winner, 2nd place, 9-12 years NZ-4 2019-145w
