Many of the world's artists care deeply about the Earth and express their concern by bringing marine environments into their work. One practitioner of this new art form who focuses on the ocean is British sculptor, scuba diver, marine conservationist, and underwater photographer Jason deCaires Taylor. Jason’s work conveys many important messages, while at the same time creating opportunities to support the growth of marine ecosystems. After more than 15 years of work, Jason’s large-scale “underwater museums” and “sculpture parks” now span the globe, with each site a submerged and tidal marine environment.
Two years after the 2004 Hurricane Ivan caused extensive damage to Molinere Bay on the west coast of Grenada in the West Indies, Jason deCaries Taylor constructed artificial sculptures in the local reef using long-lasting pH-neutral cement to provide a new base for marine life. The next project we’ll look at by Jason is on display at the Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA), or Underwater Museum of Art in Cancún, Mexico - one of the largest and most ambitious underwater art attractions in the world. Another one of Jason deCaires Taylor’s major projects is the Museo Atlántico (Atlantic Museum), the first underwater art museum in European waters. The artworks are arranged in six groups, each focusing on a different theme, including climate change, the refugee crisis, and the merging of nature and humanity.
In 2019 Jason worked with Australia’s Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) to set up Coral Greenhouse - the first underwater museum in the southern hemisphere. This work also shares the message of conserving and restoring coral reefs, for which Australia is famous. In 2021, Jason deCaires Taylor completed The Underwater Museum of Cannes, France in the Mediterranean Sea and the Museum of Underwater Sculpture Ayia Napa (MUSAN) at Pernera Beach, Cyprus, taking him 4 years. The MUSAN museum aims to raise public awareness about the declining state of the world’s oceans including the Mediterranean Sea, which are highly polluted and suffer from overfishing and plastic waste.
世界上許多藝術家深切關心著地球環境,透過把海洋環境融入作品藉此表達他們的關切之情。這種新的藝術形式,其中一位實踐者是英國雕塑家、水肺潛水員、海洋保護主義者以及水下攝影師傑森•德卡爾斯•泰勒。傑森的作品傳遞了許多重要訊息,同時為支持海洋生態系統的發展創造了許多機會。經過超過十五年的工作,傑森的大型作品《水下博物館》以及《雕塑公園》現已遍佈全球,每處展點都位於沉浸水中和潮汐漲落的海洋環境。
二○○四年颶風伊凡對西印度群島格瑞那達西海岸的莫里內灣造成巨大破壞後的兩年,傑森•德卡爾斯•泰勒在當地礁石上利用中性酸鹼度的混凝土打造人工雕塑,以提供海洋生物一個新的棲息地。我們欣賞傑森下一個作品,展示於水下雕塑博物館(MUSA)或稱墨西哥坎昆的水下藝術博物館—世上最大且最具雄心的水下藝術景點之一。傑森•德卡爾斯•泰勒另一項重要作品是大西洋博物館(大西洋博物館),歐洲水域中第一個水下藝術博物館。這些藝術品被分成六組,每組側重一個不同的主題,包括氣候變遷、難民危機,以及人類與自然的融合。
二○一九年,傑森與澳洲水下藝術博物館(MOUA)合作建成珊瑚溫室—南半球第一個水下博物館。這件作品同樣分享澳洲很著名的保護與恢復珊瑚礁的訊息。二○二一年,傑森•德卡爾斯•泰勒完成了位於法國地中海坎城的水下博物館,以及他花費四年時間在塞浦勒斯佩內拉海灘的阿依納帕水下雕塑博物館(MUSAN)。阿依納帕水下雕塑博物館旨在提昇公眾意識,對於包括地中海在內的全球海洋環境,因為重度污染和過度捕撈,以及塑膠垃圾所造成的衰退現狀。

Today, we travel to Wellington, Florida USA, to meet the co-founder of The PEEPS Foundation, Alex Granato. Alex, a professional hunter jumper, along with fellow professional rider Josh Dolan, established The PEEPS Foundation for the rescue of miniature horses, particularly for those with dwarfism which can lead to lifelong health problems. What started out as a two-person team has grown into a much bigger operation as they are now joined by dedicated volunteers. This is a non-profit organization whose team of volunteers provides services to various aspects of miniature horse care, which includes rescue, joint and foot care, dietary needs, general health, and adoption placement.
Touched by their effort, sacrifice and volunteer work in helping to rescue miniature horses and placing them in loving homes, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai “Appreciatively present The PEEPS Foundation the Shining World Compassion Award, plus US$20,000 with lots of love, hugs and gratitude. May all involved live long, happy lives with God’s Blessing. May the beings you rescue enjoy care, love and dignity for the rest of their lives, in God’s Love.”
“We’re so grateful and honored that you guys would recognize our Foundation. It really did just start as a labor of love towards horses and especially the small ones. It’s just such an honor to be recognized and get more support worldwide for what we’re doing here. I just wanted to say again, from myself and Josh Dolan and all of our animals here at The Peeps Foundation, to Supreme Master Ching Hai, we are so grateful and so thankful for Your recognition and Your donation and can’t wait to put it to good use helping these animals.”
今天我們啟程前往美國佛里達羅州惠靈頓,拜訪Peeps基金會的共同創辦人亞歷克斯.葛納托。亞歷克斯是馬術障礙的職業騎士與職業騎士夥伴喬希.杜蘭共同創辦了Peeps基金會來拯救小馬駒,特別是那些患有侏儒症可能導致終生健康問題的馬兒。剛開始的兩人團隊在竭誠奉獻的義工加入後,已擴展為較大的運作。這是一個非營利組織,其義工團隊為小馬駒的照護提供各方面服務,其中包括救援、關節和足部護理、飲食需求、整體健康和安排領養。
我們摯愛的清海無上師深受感動,為他們努力奉獻和拯救的志願工作並安置小馬駒在愛心家園。清海無上師:「感恩頒發光耀世界愛心獎給予Peeps基金會,還有兩萬美元並獻上許多愛、擁抱與感激。願所有參與者長壽、生活喜樂,伴隨著神的護佑。願您所拯救的眾生餘生享有關照、愛與尊嚴,於上帝之愛中。」
「我們好感恩且榮幸,您表彰我們基金會。當
