An island off the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, became a big screen project of urban art that seeks to make the population to the importance of preserving the oceans and marine life.

The PangeaSeed, a non-profit organization dedicated to public awareness for conservation and preservation of marine species through art and activism, gathered several renowned urban artists and took them to Isla Mujeres, where all of the walls and spaces available were covered with murals representing the marine life.

The project, called "Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans", focuses on environmental issues that are affecting the oceans as overfishing, the trade in shark fins, coastal development, and pollution, plastic referred to Dodo.

The project was funded through a fundraiser is made through the platform Indiegogo, and allowed artists to swim with whale sharks and mantas off the Mexican Coast, to better understand the importance of what they portray.
