Underwater sculptures are artistic creations placed beneath the surface of oceans, seas, or lakes. These sculptures can be made from various materials, including concrete, metal, and natural elements, designed to withstand marine conditions. They often serve as artificial reefs, promoting marine life and enhancing biodiversity. Many underwater sculptures are part of art installations, such as those by artist Jason deCaires Taylor. These installations attract divers and snorkelers, providing a unique experience while raising awareness about environmental issues like coral reef degradation and ocean conservation. The sculptures can also serve as a platform for scientific research on marine ecosystems.
