Plastic-Eating Walleye.

Plastic-Eating Walleye

Port Clinton, Ohio

Unveiled on Earth Day 2019, the plastic-eating walleye was the idea of local resident Carol Morgan, who saw -- on Facebook -- a similar "recycling fish" in India. Another local, Joshua Zetzer, sculpted the fish as a Port Clinton walleye, a fish known for its biting prowess. Made of steel rods and sheet metal, the fish is over five feet high and 11 feet long. Specially shaped "deposit ports" enable the fish to swallow only plastic bottles into its see-thru belly. Civic-minded local businesses take turns emptying the "clean-out port" at the other end.
