Just recently an underwater sculpture museum was built in the waters near Cancun, Mexico. The artist is Jason Taylor and he built 400 sculptures of people that took 120 hours to build and $250000. The exhibit was made so that people could come to this underwater museum to snorkle and look at the fish and take the people away from the natural reefs that are being destroyed by humans. The reefs are being constantly assaulted by pollution such as sewage and run-off.
In my opinion i think this project was good because it is taking the pressure of human impact off of the natural reefs and putting it on the man made ones. The man made reef also profides a new atmosphere to the reef because instead of coral thare are sculptures to look at. it will also provide a new home for fish and other species.
