Nanoose Bay girl turns marine trash into statue for school project
NANOOSE BAY — A local fifth grade student’s year-end project was a slam dunk.
Ten-year-old Aspengrove School student Coco Reagh collected marine junk to create an over six-foot tall figure of debris.
Reagh got the idea when she noticed debris in their local marina, which she said negatively impacts our environment and wildlife.
“Try to stop putting garbage out your windows, because it will go into the water eventually,” Reagh said, while showcasing her 300 piece, three month long project.
