There are many representations of the classical work of Amphitrite all over the world, most notably at the Louvre of Amphitrite with a dolphin. I revisit this environmental theme, with Amphitrite holding a dead fish skeleton - full of `friendly floatees`. In 1992, a cargo ship was travelling from Hong Kong to Tacoma, WA with thousands of rubber bath toys and due to a severe storm lost its cargo into the Pacific Ocean. This event serves as a reminder that even small, seemingly harmless toys can have a global environmental impact when lost at sea. Marine pollution from lost cargo, plastics, and consumer goods can persist for years, traveling vast distances and causing long-term damage to ocean ecosystems. The toxic effects of these pollutants impact on feeding patterns, growth and reproductive systems of aquatic species. Therefore, humans are exposed to these pollutants through the consumption of seafood, fish and crustaceans.
