The trash and plastic litter in the waters harmed the mermaid. The cartoonish drew the mermaid using symbolism to represent marine animals. The six pack rings shackling the mermaid's tail and over-tightening her arm exemplify the tragic incidents that over 700 marine species endure and the process 100 million oceanic mammals slowly and painfully die.
