  • Project 8- Artificial Reef

Reef balls are artificial reef areas which are specifically designed to attract marine life, with holes and features like a regular reef they provide an excellent addition to the natural reef.. We plan to decorate the reefs with art and interesting features to create functional and visually unique pieces of Marine Art.

The web site will be a source of information about the sculptures and the surrounding reef, with pictures, information and updates on the changes in the reef we hope to create a comprehensive information resource on the park and the sculptures.

    Hello,

    My name is Marla Guggenheimer and I am a senior in high school at the Miami Valley School in Ohio in the United States. A few days ago I saw the Omnimax movie “The Last Reef” in which many of the sculptures from the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park are exhibited. When the narrator of the film explained that one way people are trying to save the coral reefs is by placing statues underwater so that coral can grow on them and thrive, I became inspired. I want to be a part of this amazing cause and I am contacting you asking how I can get my school involved in sponsoring the restoration of one of the sculptures. This is a huge dream of mine, to be actively involved in the conservation of our environment, and I know I can make it a reality. Thank you so much for everything that you do and it is comforting and refreshing to know that there are many people in the world who care about the conservation of our beautiful planet and who are actively doing something about it. Please let me know about sponsorship opportunities. Thank you.
