'our Friend Ned' - Our octopus logo

‘Our Friend Ned’ is an original artwork created by Jo Bell of Ocean Love Art & Design and donated to the group. The intricate design seeks to incorporate in her words.

“I’ve tried to incorporate as many of our marine friends as possible that we see and swim with into the drawing, as well as the sea grasses, seaweed and shells”.

We thank Jo for her ‘labour of love’.
