Jason DeCaires Taylor is an eco-sculptor who creates underwater sculptures to promote marine ecosystem regeneration and raise environmental awareness. His sculptures act as artificial reefs, attracting coral and fish while diverting tourists from fragile natural reefs. Since 2006, he has created two large underwater sculpture parks off Grenada and in Cancun, containing over 500 sculptures. The installations provide benefits like increased marine biomass, refuge for species, and education about threats to the ocean.
The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.

WTF - Why the Future Is Up to Us - pptx versionTim O'Reilly
This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)
Download a full version of the report at:
www.psfk.com/report/future-of-work-2016/
The PSFK Future of Work Report deep dives into the talent and development landscape to identify the conditions and qualities that cultivate tomorrow’s leaders in the workplace. In return for investing in greater opportunity and education, employers will reap the rewards of increased efficiency, engagement and entrepreneurship—reducing mistrust, stress and ultimately turnover across teams.
Additionally, PSFK has developed six workplace visions that were inspired by 10 strategies to develop a new era of internal leadership. These boundary-pushing product and workplace concepts reimagine how teams can onboard employees, expand the office, and prevent miscommunication.
https://www.wrike.com/blog - We surveyed creative teams to discover their biggest challenges and bottlenecks, from conception to completion. And what we discovered was: creative teams have to organize requests, listen to feedback, and seek approvals, all while trying to incorporate their own creative vision, making it difficult to prioritize and meet deadlines. Check out the details in our Slideshare.
You are dumb at the internet. You don't know what will go viral. We don't either. But we are slighter less dumber. So here's a bunch of stuff we learned that will help you be less dumb too.

MAB-IHP Regional Symposium: Managing Water Resources in Biosphere Reserves in...UNESCO Venice Office

Venice, 16-17 December 2021
Overall responsibility for the views and opinions expressed in the slides is taken by the authors
We offer you this guide to shed light on the question you are probably asking yourself: «What is the use of oceanography?».
By tracing the history of marine science, we explain how oceanographers have been able to put the oceans at the heart of their work and demonstrate the crucial role they play in the planetary balance.
Convinced that the prerequisite for any action is a better understanding of the issues by science, we hope that this guide to oceanography will help to crystalise on the issues and challenges posed by science. We hope that it will help lay the foundation for buil- ding a common and shared ocean culture.
The Sanctuary is not only visited by national and foreign tourists but also by researchers and scientists from the Northwest Biological Research Center (CIBNOR), who work to protect and conserve the local flora and fauna.
People are well aware of the existence and relevance of coral reefs that occur in tropical seas. They are well known for their structural beauty but also because the reefs they form are generally the home of abundant, diverse and colorful communities of fishes and invertebrates.
But corals are not restricted to the shallow waters of tropical seas

This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.
2. Jason DeCaires Taylor is an internationally
acclaimed eco-sculptor who creates
inspirational underwater sculptures that
promote the regeneration of marine
ecosystems whilst using art as a narrative to
convey hope and awareness to the plight of our
planet.
The underwater installations enhance the
rejuvenation of the marine ecosystem whilst
providing a platform to demonstrate the positive
impact mankind can have addressing key
environmental threats.
3. The site-specific, permanent works
act as artificial reefs; attracting corals,
increasing marine biomass and
aggregating fish species, while
crucially diverting tourists away from
fragile natural reefs and thus
providing space for their natural
renewal.
Since 2006 Jason has created and
founded two large scale underwater
museums.
4. INERTIA shows the human ability to live within a bubble. This tunnel-vision piece aims to immortalise our
general apathy toward global warming.
5. THE LOST CORRESPONDENT informs the rapid changes in communication between generations. Taking
the form of a traditional correspondent, the lone figure becomes little more than a relic, a fossil in a lost world.
6.
7. The Park is located two miles north of the capital
St Georges, the Bay suffered considerable storm
damage in recent years and the placement of an
artificial structure has provided a new base for
marine life to proliferate.
Grenada, West Indies: First Installation 2006
Underwater Sculpture Park consisting of 65 public
works spread throughout a coastal bay, covering an
area of 800sq metres. Supported by the Grenada
board of Tourism and the Ministry of Fisheries, the
park currently receives around 20,000 visitors a
year to a site that was never previously visited.
9. Cancun, Mexico: First Installation 2009
Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA) consists of 486
individual sculptures placed in two underwater
“Salones” situated within the Parque Nacional Costa
Occidental de Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancún y Punta
Nizuc. Commissioned by the regional government
the Museum is listed in the top 5 Caribbean snorkel
destinations and currently receives around 150,000
visitors each year.
The Park demonstrates the interaction between art
and the environment whilst forming a complex reef
structure for marine life to colonise, inhabit and
increase biomass on a grand scale. The
installations occupy an area of over 420sq metres
of barren seabed and weigh over 200 tons.
10. Installation Benefits:
• The creation of an artificial reef to increase overall marine biomass.
• A protective area for marine species to reproduce and take refuge.
• Divert tourists away from natural areas minimizing human impact.
• Educate and engage residents and tourists of the threats.
• An opportunity for marine research and collection of field data.
11. The Development of Coraline Algae (the foundations of a coral reef) over 2 year period, Cancun Mexico.
13. Europe’s First Underwater Museum of Art:
We are pleased to announce plans to build
the first underwater contemporary art
museum in Europe and the Atlantic Ocean.
Situated in turquoise clear waters off the
coast of Lanzarote, Spain, the installation will
be constructed at around 12m deep and
accessible to snorkelers, divers and
observers in glass bottom boats.
14. The concept, centered around a gateway and division, will
include a variety of installations based on the dialogue
between past, present and current divisions within society.
It will feature at its heart an underwater botanical sculpture
garden referencing local flora and fauna.
The Museum will be constructed using tried and tested,
environmentally friendly, pH neutral materials and the
formations will be tailored to suit endemic marine life. The
project will be the first time that large scale architectural
elements have been deployed underwater and occupy an
area of barren sea bed approximately 100m x 100m
The project, drawing on the dialogue between art and
nature, is designed to create a large scale artificial reef
whilst questioning the commodification of the World’s
natural resources and land masses.
