Listen to a conversation between a student and his marine biology professor. S: Hi, Professor Ritter. I\'m back from my swim competition, and I thought I\'d pick up the latest draft of my paper while I\'m in the building. It\'s the one about ocean acidification？ P: Sure, David. I could tell that you really considered my feedback. Your ideas are much clearer now, and the transitions between paragraphs are smoother. Oh, and you finally formatted your citations correctly. S: What a relief to hear. Oh also, while I was finding sources on the Internet, a few articles popped up about coral reefs. P: Sure, makes sense. You\'re writing about how oceans are becoming more acidic, and that directly affects coral reefs. S: Right. Well, one of those articles was a real surprise. Apparently, there\'s this guy, an artist, who builds underwater sculpture parks. His name is Jason deCaires Taylor. Jason deCaires Taylor, this artist, he makes sculptures and installs them at the bottom of the ocean near coastlines. The article said he\'s created over 900 sculptures so far. P:Interesting, but what\'s the connection with the coral reefs? S: Coral Reef destruction was actually the whole motivation for Taylor\'s project. He lived in an area where coral reefs were getting damaged by tourists in the water, so he decided to take action to help. P: How exactly? S: First, Taylor reduces visitors at natural reefs by drawing divers to his sights instead. Second, coral larvae land on the sculptures and grow, which eventually supports all sorts of marine life. Taylor puts a lot of holes and crevices into the sculptures to encourage habitation, and the concrete he uses is specially formulated to be close to a neutral pH so it won\'t harm the environment. ? P: That\'s a creative approach to habitat restoration, and over 900 sculptures, what do they depict? S: Well, anything from an empty car, a dining table, a person watching TV. There\'s snapshots of regular people in their everyday lives. Apparently, he likes the human form, since it\'s still recognizable, even as the sculpture changes. P: Oh right, when all the coral grow and cover the surface, hmm. But Taylor is an artist, right? Does he collaborate with scientists in his work? S: Actually, yeah, one of the sculptures I especially liked is called the listener. It started with a conversation with a marine biologist. They were discussing ways to document the arrival of new species at Taylor\'s sculpture parks to see what organisms ended up living. Well, long story short, Taylor created a life-size human sculpture covered in about 200 ears, concrete ears, and the marine biologist attached an acoustic device to record and help biologists identify the sounds of the organisms at the site.
