Concrete Cars Submerged in the Ocean Aim To Revitalize Florida’s Coral Population
Off the coast of Miami Beach, something unexpected has plunged into the ocean: a series of concrete cars.

Aptly titled Concrete Coral, the installation consists of 22 life-size cars, each cast from marine-grade, pH-neutral concrete.
