Museums are places of conservation, education, and about protecting something sacred. We need to assign those same values to our oceans.

For almost two decades, he has been creating underwater museums and sculpture parks, submerging some 1,200 living artworks throughout the world's oceans and seas to highlight the climate emergency and environmental activism.
