Focus On South Florida: 1000 Mermaids

There's a unique South Florida based art project underway, and fittingly, it comes in the form of mermaids, which symbolize our relationship with water.

Local artists are casting the life-sized mythical creatures out of real people, and they come with a purpose.

Once the mermaids are complete, project participants plan to sink them, creating an underwater art installation for divers and an artificial reef, so badly needed by sea-life. While at the same time spreading a very important message.

Guests: Evan Snow/1000 Mermaids Exec. Director & Project Director
