Grenada Underwater<br />
Sculpture Park<br />
Said to be the world’s first submarine art<br />
gallery, the Grenada Underwater Sculpture<br />
Park is just off the capital, St George’s,<br />
in Molinere Bay <strong>—</strong> whose natural reefs<br />
were damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004.<br />
The brainchild of British artist Jason de<br />
Caires Taylor, the park was intended to<br />
serve as an artificial reef, creating a refuge<br />
for marine life, as well as a showcase of<br />
human creativity. Cast in concrete and sunk<br />
on the sandy ocean floor, the sculptures<br />
are intended to be colonised and gradually<br />
modified by corals and sponges <strong>—</strong> a true<br />
collaboration across species barriers.<br />
