9 .Oh also, while I was finding sources on the Internet, a few articles popped up about coral reefs.

该句暂无译文！
11 .S: Right. Well, one of those articles was a real surprise.
该句暂无译文！
12 .Apparently, there\'s this guy, an artist, who builds underwater sculpture parks.

该句暂无译文！
16 .P:Interesting, but what\'s the connection with the coral reefs?
该句暂无译文！
17 .S: Coral Reef destruction was actually the whole motivation for Taylor\'s project.
该句暂无译文！
18 .He lived in an area where coral reefs were getting damaged by tourists in the water, so he decided to take action to help.
该句暂无译文！
19 .P: How exactly?
该句暂无译文！
20 .S: First, Taylor reduces visitors at natural reefs by drawing divers to his sights instead.
该句暂无译文！
21 .Second, coral larvae land on the sculptures and grow, which eventually supports all sorts of marine life.
该句暂无译文！
22 .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. ?
该句暂无译文！
23 .P: That\'s a creative approach to habitat restoration, and over 900 sculptures, what do they depict?
该句暂无译文！
24 .S: Well, anything from an empty car, a dining table, a person watching TV.
该句暂无译文！
25 .There\'s snapshots of regular people in their everyday lives.
该句暂无译文！

该句暂无译文！
27 .P: Oh right, when all the coral grow and cover the surface, hmm.
该句暂无译文！
28 .But Taylor is an artist, right?
该句暂无译文！
29 .Does he collaborate with scientists in his work?
该句暂无译文！
30 .S: Actually, yeah, one of the sculptures I especially liked is called the listener.
该句暂无译文！
31 .It started with a conversation with a marine biologist.
该句暂无译文！
32 .They were discussing ways to document the arrival of new species at Taylor\'s sculpture parks to see what organisms ended up living.
该句暂无译文！
33 .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.
