Jason deCaires Taylor

Jason deCaires Taylor (born 12 August 1974 in Dover)[1] is a British sculptor and creator of the world's first underwater sculpture park – the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park[2] – and underwater museum – Cancún Underwater Museum (MUSA).[3] He is best known for installing site-specific underwater sculptures that develop naturally into artificial coral reefs,[4] which local communities and marine life depend on. Taylor integrates his skills as a sculptor, marine conservationist,[5] underwater photographer[6] and scuba diving instructor[7] into each of his projects. By using a fusion of Land Art traditions and subtly integrating aspects of street art, Taylor produces dynamic sculptural works that are installed on the ocean floor to encourage marine life, to promote ocean conservation and to highlight the current climate crisis.

Taylor's works in Grenada have been listed among the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic.[2] His projects to date include the creation of the Cancún Underwater Museum, Ocean Atlas,[8] The Rising Tide[9], Museo Atlántico,[10] Nest,[11] Coralarium,[12] Nexus,[13] Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA),[14] Écomusée sous-marin de Cannes,[15] and the Museum of Underwater Sculpture Ayia Napa (MUSAN).[16]
