Art + Science
Underwater Coral Art Sculptures merge marine biology and contemporary art.
Dynamic living sculptures that complement marine ecosystems and their biodiversity.
Art Installations underwater provide opportunities for studies on corals, their evolution, resilience and species interaction.
Partnerships with coral farmers, marine biologists, foundations, dive centers, governments, hotels, NGO's, Private Sector, Stakeholders and MPAs.
Underwater art installations will bring responsible tourism creating new entrepreneurship opportunities in nearby vulnerable coastal communities.
Creating a shift in the comminities to act as guardians instead of allowing current bad fishing practices that are unsustainable for marine habitats.
The goal is to create coral sculptures in different places around the world to promote protection of the sea and its unique underwater habitats.
Art has been known to make science more relatable and human. People protect what they love.
