Financial service provider Suntera Global, Beach Buddies and Isle Listen are inviting primary schools to take part in a sculpture design competition.
The ’Fill a Fish’ project will see the construction of four unique fish-shaped beach clean sculptures that will live permanently in close proximity to carefully selected beaches around the island.
Each sculpture will be designed by a student from a primary school that is local to the beach, then brought to life by artists Darren and Steph Quayle Jackson from The Farmyard Studio.
