====Cancun Underwater Museum====
Since November 2009, artist [[Jason deCaires Taylor]] has created more than 400 life size sculptures off the coast of Cancun, Mexico at the [[Cancun Underwater Museum]]. The coral reefs in this region suffered heavy degradation due to repetitive hurricane abuse. This project was funded by The National Marine Park and the Cancun Nautical Association. It was designed to emulate coral reefs using a neutral ph clay. Taylor constructed unique settings depicting daily activities ranging from a man watching TV to a 1970s replica of a Volkswagen Beetle. This artificial reef relieved pressure from the nearby Manchones Reef.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://cancuntravel.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/cancun%E2%80%99s-underwater-museum-blooms-in-time-for-spring/|title=Cancun's Underwater Museum Blooms In Time For Spring|date=2010-04-07|work=Cancun Vacation Blog|access-date=2017-10-05|language=en-US}}</ref>
