Coral Morphologic is the leading creator and pioneer of innovative underwater media chronicling Earth’s imperiled coral reefs. It was founded in 2007 by marine biologist Colin Foord and musician Jared McKay as an interdisciplinary platform for the advancement of symbiosis between humans and coral. Coral Morphologic’s unique methodology blends science and art in a way that enamors popular culture with the beauty of coral while inspiring the next generation to restore the reefs.

Coral Morphologic’s artwork is informed by a scientific mission to document, aquaculture, and protect Miami’s (and the world’s) coral. They hypothesize that the coral pioneering onto the seawalls of Miami may hold the keys to understanding how reef organisms worldwide will adapt to human influence in the 21st century. Coral Morphologic is currently working with researchers from NOAA and University of Miami to understand how these unusually resilient 'urban corals’ are able to thrive living along the submerged edge of the highway connecting Miami to Miami Beach. Key to this work is the Coral City Camera, an underwater camera streaming from an urban reef ecosystem along PortMiami. By providing the public with remote access to Miami's aquatic life, Coral Morphologic aims to generate environmental awareness of, and civic pride for, the City's remarkable marine biodiversity.
