Underwater Sculpture Park in the Caribbean Sea

Underwater Sculpture Park in the Caribbean Sea

The Underwater Sculpture Park is a unique museum located at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Grenada. The first exhibits, created by Jason Taylor, a British sculptor and representative of the environmental movement, were placed at the bottom of the sea in 2006.

The extraordinary collection of underwater monuments is increased every year. Now you can see 65 exhibits under water. The sculptures are located on an area of 800 square meters, about three meters deep.

Jason Taylor's project, in addition to the cultural component, is important for the balance of the local marine environment and the restoration of the wild ecosystem. In fact, the sculptures act as artificial reefs, helping the growth of molluscs and algae, thereby creating biomass. Thus, the negative effects of the hurricane that hit Grenada in 2004 and the increase in the number of tourists engaged in active water sports in the region had a negative impact on the development of the underwater world.
