"MIAMI (AP) — Humans don’t know what they’re missing under the surface of a
busy shipping channel in the “cruise capital of the world.” Just below the
keels of massive ships, an underwater camera provides a live feed from another
world, showing marine life that’s trying its best to resist global warming.
That camera in Miami’s Government Cut is just one of the many ventures of a
marine biologist and a musician who’ve been on a 15-year mission to raise
awareness about dying coral reefs by combining science and art to bring
undersea life into pop culture.
Their company — Coral Morphologic — is surfacing stunning images, putting
gorgeous closeups of underwater creatures on social media, setting time-lapsed
video of swaying, glowing coral to music and projecting it onto buildings, even
selling a coral-themed beachwear line.
“We aren’t all art. We aren’t all science. We aren’t all tech. We are an
alchemy,” said Colin Foord, who defies the looks of a typical scientist, with
blue hair so spiky that it seems electrically charged. He and his business
partner J.D. McKay sat down with The Associated Press to show off their work.
One of their most popular projects is the Coral City Camera, which recently
passed 2 million views and usually has about 100 viewers online at any given
time each day."
