Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park
Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park is a unique underwater attraction located off the west coast of Grenada, in the Caribbean Sea. It was established in 2006 by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, with the aim of creating an artificial reef to aid in the conservation of the marine environment.
History
The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park was created in response to the damage caused to the local marine environment by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The park was designed to provide a new habitat for marine life, while also serving as a tourist attraction that promotes sustainable tourism and environmental conservation.
Sculptures
The park features over 65 individual sculptures, all created by Jason deCaires Taylor. The sculptures are made from a special type of concrete that is friendly to marine life and encourages coral growth. The most famous of these sculptures is the "Vicissitudes", a ring of 26 children holding hands, symbolizing unity and continuity.
Location and Access
The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park is located in the Molinere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, approximately two miles north of the capital city, St. George's. The park is accessible to divers and snorkelers, with guided tours available from local dive shops.
Conservation Efforts
The park has been successful in attracting a variety of marine life, including corals, sponges, and a variety of fish species. It serves as a model for other artificial reef projects around the world, demonstrating the potential for art to contribute to marine conservation.
