Sea Mare

Stephen Coburn and Robert Dujin collaborated on a series of small fish habitats for the Sydney Institute of Marine Biology (SIMS). The habitats were placed on concrete bases and then put them under the sea around the Opera House to promote the biodiversity of smaller sea creatures within Sydney Harbour. After a few years, it was discovered that a colony of seahorses were living inside these small habitats. Stephen then made a drawing of a seahorse, and liked the skeletal design of the animal so much that he constructed several seahorses of various sizes out of 316 marine grade steel.
