A shark sculpture made of 40,000 used plastic bottles was put up in an Ocean Park on Saturday in Rizhao city, Shandong province of E China.

The plastic shark is 9.1 meters long, 5.6 meters broad and 4.5 meters tall.

It will be dismantled after the event and all the plastic bottles will be recycled.

This environment-protection-themed event has been launched by Rizhao Ocean Park.

By collecting more than 40,000 used plastic bottles from local people and tourists, the park wishes to break the Guinness World Record of the largest sculpture made from plastic bottles.

By doing so, they are calling on everyone to jointly protect the marine environment.
