Coral reefs are a critical part of our ocean ecosystem that grow slowly and are sensitive scaffolds for a myriad of life. Pollution, changing temperatures, acidification, anchors and fishing with explosives kill them. So this project, a community-crocheted coral reef analog falls squarely into the globally socially conscious social practice art paradigm. By Portland artist and sea researcher Colleen Flanigan.
