The sculptures which would act as artificial shelters for the rockfish are displayed at Marine Mammal Rescue Centre in Vancouver, Canada, July 23, 2019. Sculptures created by artists of University of British Columbia and Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Canada will be submerged in the waters off Porteau Cove in British Columbia. Rockfish numbers were declining for the past two decades due to overfishing. The sculptures will act as artificial habitats or shelters for the rockfish and attract them to stay in that area.
