The underwater ‘human reef’
The Silent Evolution, a project that saw installation of human sculptures underwater in The Museum of Underwater Modern Art, off the east coast of Mexico, is now complete with 400 life-size sculptures standing tall to protect the natural coral reefs of the area.

The underwater ‘human reef’
Created by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor, the sculptures are made of a special type of cement which has a neutral pH that encourages coral to grow.
Most of the statues are now already adorned with artificial reef drawing tourists away from the natural corals, a step that would protect marine life and amuse tourists at the same time.
According to marine scientists, over 750,000 people visit the marine park every year that puts a huge pressure on the natural reef.
Making artificial reefs accessible from Cancun and Isla Mujeres National Marine Park seems to have been a great way to protect the environment.
The Silent Evolution sculptures are also promoting tourism in a barren sea and attracting adventurers towards something unusually artistic under water.
