"""Most are familiar with Christo and Jeanne-Claude's """"surrounded islands."""" This is yet another great example of how intervention in the bay doesn't always have to be disruptive. As you could imagine, this short 2 week installation saw it's fair share of environmental uproar. However, it turns out that the manatees in the bay were attracted to the pink fabric. Not only did it provide necessary shade, but the pink sunlight emitted through the fabric stimulated the manatee's sexual behavior. The fabric also kept boats at distance from the islands which led to more bird migration, for a short while."""
