A group of divers and artists dreamed to combine sculpture and a profound appreciation of the ocean.
The spirit of loving and protecting the ocean could be memorialized in beautiful sculpture forever.
Create life, after life.
It was then that Neptune Memorial Reef rose up from the sea floor!
The architectural structure creates all manner of topography for new coral reef to grow upon. Within just a few years, new sculptural placements will be covered in coral reef.
A thriving coral ecosystem
Coral reefs are the “Rainforest of Sea life” and support 25% of all known marine species. Healthy coral reefs provide habitat for:
- 700 different species of coral
- 4,000 different species of fish
- Countless other plants and animals.
A protective habitat
The concrete structures at Neptune Memorial Reef were engineered by experts in their field to withstand tropical storms.
Designed for diversity and durability
Marine biologists also ensured many different features like caves and crevices which were incorporated into the design to host the widest variety of species.
