each individual installation, it is a call to action.
Taylor's career began in 2006 when he created his first subsea sculpture park in Molinere Bay off the coast of
Grenada in the West Indies. e region suffered severe storm damage just two years prior and the sculptures
helped draw new life into areas where the reefs had been destroyed. National Geographic has since listed it
as one of the "Top 25 Wonders of the World" and the site has been named a National Marine Protected Area.
Taylor later followed this in 2009 when he took on an even bigger project as the co-founder of MUSA
(Museo Subacuático de Arte). Alongside members of e National Marine Park and e Cancun Nautical
Association, Taylor created what is currently one of the largest and most ambitious underwater art attractions
in the world throughout the surrounding waters of Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Punta Nizuc. Most recently,
Taylor has focused his efforts on Europe's first-ever underwater contemporary art museum, Museo Atlántico,
and aimed to begin a new era of conscientious environmental cultural tourism where visitors can see these
beaches as more than just places of paradise.
