Creating a World for Coral Reefs To FlourishWe design and create artistic and functional artificial reefs, living shore protection, and manage interdisciplinary coral restoration projects. Living Sea Sculpture is an artistic organization which collaborates with scientific institutions, universities, researchers, private and public foundations, individuals, and all stakeholders to regenerate coral ecosystems for the health and sustainable economy of the planet and its inhabitants. Rather than artworks about ecology and conservation that solely derive inspiration from nature and the environment, Living Sea Sculpture is "art as ecology," designing with and for vibrant living plants and animals. Implementing contemporary concepts of biodesign and as an extension of the Bauhaus artistic movement for its vision to unite form and function. We design unique marine habitats and permeable breakwaters, taking action to promote ocean health through international collaborations, educational programs, and creative transdisciplinary projects reaching new audiences. We use mineral accretion technology to fortify reefscapes and provide life-supporting substrate for corals and biodiverse marine life. Original seascape compositions evolve into large aquatic topiary-like habitat and attractions. These ocean installations complement all methods of coral restoration exploration and applied materials research to mitigate climate change in these dire times for endangered coral reefs.
