The poster depicts a fish thermometer with a caption: “The temperature increase destroys the marine life and sustainable future.” This image portrays the rising temperatures in the ocean, and how it threatens marine life and kills fish. Onur Aşkın shows that careful attention is needed to find solutions to save not just marine life, but ourselves.
