Bahamas: sculpture giant Navy warns of collapse of the oceans

Leave a Comment
It is not known what happened to Jason Taylor food and cooking to develop this megalomaniac project, but apparently it will already be bearing fruit. Named Ocean Atlas, the project is actually a gigantic sculpture that aims to draw attention to the collapse of the oceans and coral.

The sculpture honors High, the Titan of Greek mythology condemned by Zeus to carry the heavens on his shoulders for eternity, and has five feet tall, reaching to the bottom of the sea. She was installed on the West coast of New Providence, Nassau, in the Bahamas.

The sculpture has the face of a young woman and wishes to draw attention to overfishing, pollution and global warming, responsible for the collapse of the oceans.

Commissioned by the Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation, the sculpture was mounted in parts, beneath the water. The material used has a neutral pH, which functions as an artificial reef, thus allowing the colonization of new corals and removing the stress caused by tourism in other natural habitats.

At the top of the sculpture there is a sunlight and a signal flag, which will serve as a guide for browsers, warns the sustainable planet. Here are some pictures of the project.
