flag Miami Beach launches 7-mile underwater reef with art and coral to restore ecosystems.

flag Miami Beach has launched Reefline, a seven-mile underwater artificial reef project combining art and conservation. flag The first phase features 22 concrete car sculptures by artist Leandro Ehrlich, designed to become coral habitats. flag Over 2,000 soft coral specimens, grown by marine biologist Colin Foord and his team, will be transplanted onto the structures. flag Located 700 feet offshore in shallow water, the reef aims to restore Miami Beach’s lost offshore coral ecosystem, buried by beach replenishment. flag Funded in part by a $5 million city bond and seeking $6 million more, Reefline will include an onshore marine learning center and future installations like starfish sculptures. flag The project, expected to take at least a decade, will be accessible to swimmers and serve as a living art and ecological landmark.
