Bronze sculptures in coastal public art displays face unique challenges due to their exposure to harsh marine environments. One of the most prevalent issues is accelerated corrosion caused by saltwater spray and high humidity, which leads to pitting and surface degradation. The formation of unstable patina—often turning uneven or overly green—is another concern, as it alters the artist's intended appearance. Additionally, airborne pollutants and acid rain can chemically react with the bronze, causing discoloration and structural weakness. Biological growth, such as algae or lichen, further compounds these problems by trapping moisture against the metal. Without regular maintenance, these factors can permanently compromise the sculpture’s integrity and aesthetic value. Proactive measures like protective coatings, strategic placement, and routine cleaning are essential to preserving these artworks for future generations.
