A floating motorized picnic table includes a floatation device; a base; benches attached to the base; tabletop supports; a tabletop attached to the tabletop supports; a motor; and a battery electrically connected to the motor. The base frames and rests upon the floatation device. The benches include bench boards attached above and parallel to the floatation device. The tabletop supports are attached between the benches. The tabletop includes top boards. The battery is mounted on the base under the top boards. The motor is mounted at one end with a retractable keel located adjacent to the opposite end.

The present invention is a deployable climate blanket system for regulating temperature of a water surface, including two or more climate blanket secured one to another, each blanket configured with an interior air-filled cavity and a plurality of weights for maintaining the system into a desired position. When use of the blankets is no longer desired, the blankets can be lowered beneath the water surface so as not to interfere with boat traffic or other surface use of the water.

Disclosed is a floating island construction method for overall transplantation of sandy soil plants, the method comprising the following steps: separation from a surrounding soil body; construction of a buoyancy tank device (13); and waterproof construction, so as to construct a plant floating island from plants to be transplanted in a reservoir area. The floating island protects all the root systems of the plants and most of the undisturbed soil, improves the survival rate, preserves the unique landscape of an original habitat, and can be constructed at the same time as water conservancy project construction, which saves on the construction period, saves costs, and is convenient for on-site overall scheduling.

A multifunctional floating breakwater includes: a plank platform, a first buoy, a second buoy, a first wave baffle, a second wave baffle, a first arc breast wall, a second arc breast wall, upper inclined supports, lower inclined supports and a net cage. The multifunctional floating breakwater integrates a floating breakwater and a wave-energy power generation device, which can not only maintain good stability of the water surface in a harbor, but also generate electric energy, and allow for aquaculture and other activities as well, and has advantages of being movable and not limited by water depth and geology. In addition, the invention has a simple structure, easy production and maintenance, no pollution to the marine environment and therefore wide application prospects.

A modular barge includes a first barge section and a section barge section. The first barge section is buoyant in water, and includes a first locking mechanism. The second barge section is buoyant in water, and includes a second locking mechanism. The second locking mechanism is attached to the second barge and includes a protrusion configured to couple to the first locking mechanism.

A pontoon boat is provided that includes a deck and a plurality of pontoons running longitudinally beneath the deck and providing buoyancy to the pontoon boat. The plurality of pontoons include a multi-chine configuration that increases the stability of the pontoon boat and provides handling characteristics similar to that of a hulled boat. The plurality of pontoons may include two outer pontoons and a third pontoon positioned laterally intermediate the outer pontoons. The third pontoon may include a plurality of chines, and each of the outer pontoons may include at least one chine. At least a portion of each of the at least one chines of the outer pontoons may be positioned vertically below the plurality of chines of the third pontoon. The chines on the third pontoon may extend longitudinally further than each of the at least one chines of the outer pontoons.
