A Table From The Sea’s Edge is an art project, devised by Silas Birtwistle to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote conservation of the world’s coastal and marine biodiversity as a contribution to the UN International Year of Biological Diversity, 2010.
The project aims to embody the rich biodiversity of nature by crafting a large conference table surrounded by twelve chairs, made entirely from beautiful examples of driftwood – collected from four key hotspots around the world.

It is a dramatic statement on the environment, uniting different cultures and coastal communities, connecting land with sea, and symbolizing the boundary between marine and terrestrial ecosystems, making connections between man’s land-based activities and the marine and coastal environment.
