REEFLINE is building the reef of the future, where art, science, technology, and public life come together to help restore marine ecosystems and create new conditions for ocean life to thrive.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by cultural entrepreneur Ximena Caminos and masterplanned with Shohei Shigematsu/OMA, REEFLINE is a pioneering underwater public sculpture park and model of cultural and ecological infrastructure off the coast of Miami Beach. Large-scale, site-specific artworks become a hybrid reef, creating marine habitat and supporting coral restoration, biodiversity, ocean literacy, scientific research, and public engagement in a living classroom that empowers future generations and collective action.
Partially funded by a voter-approved $5 million City of Miami Beach Arts & Culture G.O. Bond, REEFLINE is envisioned as an 11-phase, seven-mile underwater corridor developed over the next decade. By bringing together artists, scientists, architects, engineers, educators, governments, and communities, REEFLINE is creating a blueprint for how coastal cities can harness culture, design, and innovation to reshape their relationship with the ocean.
