Chris Wojcik’s Art as a Reef Project is an amalgamation of functional art meets visual art aesthetics, marine habitat preservation and clean water conservation albeit by a giant horseshoe crab sculpture acting as artificial reef. Fish, crustaceans, and various encrusting organisms take refuge in this new reef making it home. In near-shore waters while attached to the horseshoe crab structure, blue mussels act as filter feeders ridding the ocean water of algae bloom resulting from fertilizer run-off by way of rivers and storm drains. Conservation, preservation, education and activism is at the core of Surfrider Foundation as well as the Art as a Reef Project.
