 Life-size casts by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor stand in Cancun September 7, 2010. Three hundred and thirty three figures will be submerged on Tuesday off the resort of Cancun with the hope that the low-acidity cement figures, designed to be anti-corrosive and mimic rock, will be transformed over time into artificial reefs. Artificial reefs could promote marine life in otherwise featureless bottom and control beach erosion. [Agencies] |
