Fylde Council’s chairman of Environment, Health and Housing Committee, Coun Tommy Threlfall, said: “The dolphin depicted in the artwork is just one of the species in danger and, as it

was a sunny day, lots of beachgoers stopped to find out more about Richard’s artwork and the message behind it.

“It really resonated with Fylde visitors, and the aerial video serves to further spread this important message, show off the scale of the piece and highlight the beauty of our stunning

coastline.
