The ReefLine Installation – Launching September

This month, Miami Beach welcomes a breathtaking fusion of art and ocean advocacy. Coral de Hormigón, the inaugural installation of The ReefLine, submerges 22 life-size concrete cars beneath the waves—transforming a symbol of urban congestion into a sanctuary for marine life. Created by acclaimed artist Leandro Erlich, this underwater sculpture doubles as an artificial reef, seeded with living coral to restore biodiversity and protect the shoreline.

Part ecological marvel, part artistic statement, Coral de Hormigón invites us to reimagine our relationship with nature. As the first chapter in a seven-mile underwater art trail, it sets the stage for future installations that blend beauty, science, and sustainability. For art lovers, environmentalists, and curious explorers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth diving into.  Read more.
