Currently there are approximately 36 statues in the water—including mermaids, turtles, more humans, and a clownfish inspired by the Disney character Nemo. One series of underwater sculptures consists of five human sculptures looking upward as a memorial to those who have lost their lives on the busy St. Lawrence Seaway.
