London artist Jason Taylor has installed a series of his sculptures under the sea off the coast of Grenada. The aim of the sculpture park is to create a unique space which highlights environmental processes and celebrates local culture. The structure will allow soft and hard corals, algae and sponges to colonise creating an artificial reef. Sadly, not many will get to experience it first hand, but there is a video on the site showing this wonderful creation in all it's glory.
