Colin Foord is a marine biologist, coral aquaculturist, artist, and filmmaker. He is co-founder of marine biological art duo Coral Morphologic, through which he developed the world’s first multimedia coral aquaculture studio in Miami. It is Foord’s mission to bridge the gap between art and science by exploring corals in a relatable fashion, such that people of all ages can relate with the mystery and importance of conserving the world’s tropical reefs. His work has been featured by the BBC, National Geographic Channel, The New Yorker, NPR, and others. Foord’s Coral City Camera project, an underwater live-streaming camera broadcasting 24/7 from an urban coral reef along PortMiami, was named Best Public Artwork in 2020 by the Miami New Times.
