Underwater museum
The main goal of English artist Jason
Decaires Taylor’s work is conservation. Each of the 400 life sized sculptures
are made from ph neutral clay in order to promote the growth of coral reef and
marine life with the total installation occupying an area of over 150 metres
and weighing over 120 tons.The museum is located close to the Manchones reef. As the museum grows and marine life forms, the aim is to give Cancun’s reef areas a much needed rest so they can recuperate from hurricane damage
Manchones reef is one of the most visited
stretches of water in the world with over 750,000 visitors each year, placing
immense pressure on its resources. The location of the sculptures will promote
the recovery of the natural reefs, relieving pressure on them by drawing
visitors away.
