A floating structure and method for obtaining same. The structure includes a first plurality of tubes and a second plurality of tubes. The second plurality of tubes are inserted into the first plurality of tubes to extend through the upper portion of same, and both sets of tubes are welded together. The ends of the tubes of the first plurality of tubes are closed in order to be used as flotation tanks when the floating structure is fitted out for such use. The method concerns locking the first plurality of tubes in place on the frame, with pairs of holes in each of the first plurality of tubes being aligned, and a corresponding tube of the second plurality of tubes being inserted through each pair of aligned holes by force. Each of the connection portions or parts contained in the tubes are welded on the periphery of the holes.

A floating raised planter bed with innovative buoyant floatation capabilities is designed to mitigate flood damage to plants and property. The floating raised planter bed can comprise one or more planter bed sections. The floating raised planter bed has built-in buoyant structure that allows it to rise and float during flooding events, which not only safeguards the plants it contains but also enhances flood resilience in urban and suburban areas.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to mobile agricultural holding management. Crop data associated with a mobile agricultural holding can be received. Weather data associated with the mobile agricultural holding can be received. The crop data and the weather data can be analyzed to determine whether a rule is satisfied for reconfiguring the mobile agricultural holding. In response to determining that the rule is satisfied for reconfiguring the mobile agricultural holding, a control signal can be issued to at least one processing circuit of the mobile agricultural holding to execute a reconfiguration action.

A wet soil plant nursery system for growing and planting wet soil plants in natural or artificial hydric soil environments. The system can function as or in conjunction with an aeronautical platform connected in moveable relation to at least one translucent enclosure wherein at least one translucent enclosure may, in part, grow and plant wet soil plants. Further, the system can have multiple attachments connected thereto, such as sensor arrays for monitoring plant growth, suites of electronics for flight data, walkways that are affixed to seawalls which lead to aeronautical platforms, and more. In addition, the system, as a whole, may be affixed in an operative position or a non-operative position.

An apparatus for farming macroalgae that includes a macroalgae farm and variable displacement spar buoy apparatuses connected to the macroalgae farm. Each of the spar buoy apparatus has a top sealed compartment having a gas and a bottom portion that is open at the bottom. A vent pipe extends from the bottom portion up through the top sealed compartment. The variable displacement spar buoy provides buoyancy by adding a gas to the bottom portion through the vent pipe and provides negative buoyancy by removing the gas from the bottom portion through the vent pipe. In this manner, variable buoyancy may be provided to the macroalgae farm to raise or lower the macroalgae farm.
