1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef Project

Putting the Art in “Art”ificial Reefs The 1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef is an Eco-Art project that serves as an underwater eco-friendly destination for tourism, research, and coral restoration. 1000 Mermaids started out as an artist’s vision to use the symbol of a Mermaid to raise awareness to marine conservation while creating habitat and providing a unique diving location. The mermaid throughout history has served as a symbol of humans’ connection to the Ocean and its mystery. We find value in the ability to strengthen people’s relationship to the ocean through art. Through the placement of 1000 mermaids over time our initiative will transform real people into mystical mermaids that will live forever on the ocean floor. While serving as valuable habitat to support marine life and creating a foundation of appreciation for marine conservation.
