There’s a 36,000 square foot mural that Turnpike drivers can see in Martin County.
It’s along the backside of the headquarters for H2Ocean in Stuart and was unveiled during a ceremony on Saturday.
The company makes sea salt-based health and personal care products and its CEO Eddie Kolos, who is also a marine biologist, tells CBS 12 News that the mural is part of an effort focused on protecting both land and water ecosystems.
“The details in it is really what is kind of expressing how the ecosystem works and why these animals were important to our land here on Planet Earth.”
The details include extinct and endangered animals, with a message about keeping ecosystems clean and healthy.
The display is about 1,000 feet wide and 36-feet high and was created by artist Jeks One, who used more than 2,000 cans of spray paint.
