It features two standout design patterns: Tidal Swing – A sculptural arrangement of Reef Arches® Tiles that mimics the ebb and flow of the tides. This pattern not only celebrates tidal rhythm but also expands surface area for oyster and marine life growth, bringing art and ecology together. Mangrove Bloom – Inspired by the iconic red mangrove propagule, this elegant 3-leaf formation represents new life, restoration, and nature-based coastal enhancement. The design is complemented by MANG’s expertise in mangrove restoration, aligning art with measurable environmental impact. Together, these Reef Arches® Tile patterns enhance the ecological value of the shoreline by promoting marine life, supporting water quality, and allowing nature to reclaim space along the built environment. This installation reflects APH’s commitment to Protect the Tide, designed to inspire today’s communities as much as it will serve future generations. 11 TIDEFORM The ART of Sculpting Shorelines ART DESCRIPTION Title & Artist: Tidal Swing & Mangrove Bloom by (The_Propagule) Medium: Cast and textured marine-grade concrete Reef Arches® Tiles Quantity: 30 large tiles and 70 small tiles Installation Zone: Tidal band between MLW and MHW Total Area in Tidal Zone: 40 ft × 3 ft = 120 sq ft of seawall face within tidal zone Reef Tile Added Surface Area: 298.6 sq ft of increased surface area—2.5× the surface area over a flat seawall face. This expanded texture encourages colonization of oysters, barnacles, algae, sea hares, crabs, juvenile fish, and other marine life. Cost: 30 large tiles @ $75 = $2,250; 70 small tiles @ $25 = $1,750; plaque $7 → Total $4,007 Total Area in Tidal Zone: 40 ft × 3 ft = 120 sq ft of seawall face within tidal zone Reef Tile Added Surface Area: 298.6 sq ft increased surface area. This adds 2.5x the surface area over the flat seawall face alone. This expanded texture encourages colonization of oysters, barnacles, algae, sea hares, crabs, juvenile fish and other marine life. Cost: 30 large tiles @ $75 = $2,250, 70 small tiles @ $25, $7 plaque = $1,750 Total $4,00 12 Description: The Snug Harbor Hybrid Seawall will feature an environmental art installation composed of 100 modular Reef Arches® Tiles carefully arranged along the face of the new Hybrid Seawall within the active tidal zone. These sculptural tiles—engineered by Reef Arches®—use marine-safe concrete and biomimetic surface textures that replicate coral microstructures and oyster beds, offer ing protection and habitat for native marine life to settle, thrive, and grow. The Mangrove Bloom design also nods to MANG’s work in planting and nurturing mangroves across Florida, uniting visual storytelling with real habitat creation. Each tile functions as both sculpture and habitat—promoting marine biodiversity while providing a visually striking design that reflects the surrounding waterfront community’s commitment to sustainability. As tides rise and fall daily, these art pieces will transition in and out of the water, creating a living kinetic gallery that evolves with the rhythms of nature. Why it Qualifies as Public Art: • Visibly integrated into the built environment—positioned at eye level for water-goers, kayakers, dockside viewers, and neighboring residents. • Sculptural form and layout designed by Arthur Tiedeman (The_Propagule) in partnership with Reef Arches® and MANG, combining aesthetic intention with ecological function. • Educational potential—interpretive signage can be added explaining the function of the tiles, their role in marine ecosystems, and how art, infrastructure, and restoration efforts can coexist. • Zero-maintenance public benefit—unlike murals or statues, this art form naturally accrues beauty over time by attracting oysters, fish, and marine flora. This is not just infrastructure—it’s functional art that filters water, fosters marine life, and redefines what coastal resilience can look like in the 21st century. Snug Harbor residents will enjoy a project that beautifies the shoreline, protects the environment, and creates a new standard for civic art in coastal communities.
