Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Great Barrier Reef and uses his superpowers to protect the environment. Jack’s main job is to educate young readers on the impact of plastic and other types of pollution and to empower them to find a solution.
Created by Antoine Jaja, Jack’s first two adventure books entitled, “Drastic Plastic” and “Pollution Solution,” are now available in paperback in bookstores throughout Australia, as well as the ANSTO Shop. ANSTO provided scientific input into these stories that are helping to raise awareness of the impact of pollution on our waterways and the marine environment.
