The Reclamation ProjectXavier Cortada discussed his Reclamation Project at Miami Dade College. The
Reclamation Project is a participatory eco-art project launched by
Xavier Cortada in 2006. It explores our ability to coexist with the
natural world. Since 2007, the coastal reforestation component of the
Reclamation Project has been based at the Miami Science Museum , where
an installation of 1,100 mangrove seedlings is on permanent exhibit.
Annually, volunteers collect mangrove propagules in coastal areas. The
propagules are then exhibited in clear, water-filled cups (see: Gallery
of Installations) where they are nurtured into seedlings and eventually
planted along coastal areas. This coastal reforestation creates new
habitats above and below the water line
