But it would be even lovelier, to see a few more animals amongst the many people amongst sculptures under water...it would be a nice sign against anthropocentrism. Perhaps this is a lovely project.

And remike4, why are you so defensive about a simple request? We are all responsible for the repercussions of what we create, and this includes artists. A discussions of the trade-offs involved only helps to educate and raise awareness of the need to conserve and use the best materials possible. Personally I am amazed at this stunning and moving art installation! I can only imagine that it's beauty and function as an artificial reef will grow with time.

Very interesting idea. By looking at the pictures in which friendly fish swim around the figures, I was dreaming it could become the seed or base for a real reef.

He was simply stating a fact. Why must you come on here and be negative about something beautiful that has been added to the world? It makes no sense for both of you to get on your high horse. I hope that you will learn to respect art and nature a little more than you both show. Have a blessed day, Brooki3 Hmm… @Forrest and revmike24, Not once did the author condemn anyone for anything.

Aesthetics aside, I'd be much more interested to know the negative/positive environmental impacts of the project.
