Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous or semi-autonomous growth platform used to control live cargo exposures to environmental parameters by changing depth in an offshore environment. For example, the growth platform can be lowered at night so that farmed seaweed can perform luxury uptake of nutrients and raised during the daytime so that the farmed seaweed can capture sunlight.

An improved artificial mangrove assembly designed to duplicate a natural mangrove that provides protection and promotes an underwater ecosystem, which can help reverse the decline in the fish population, aviary habitats, erosion, and the like and help to promote land and marine colonization.

The present disclosure provides fish attracting systems and habitats. The fish attracting systems are designed to mimic sunken grass-like vegetation that will move and wave like other aquatic vegetation, for example, hydrilla or milfoil, in order to attract fish, provide a hiding place for fish, serve as a location for fish to attach their eggs and provide a food source for the fish. The fish attracting systems are also designed to mimic one or more lily pads that are buoyant and are designed to float, creating shade underneath.

Fish attractor and escape habitat systems are disclosed. The fish attractor and escape habitat systems include a pyramid-shaped base structure having a plurality of side walls forming an interior space and having an open bottom and an open top, where the side walls include elongated slots for fish to swim into and out of the interior space and brace slots for receiving braces that provide shade for the fish. Spawning devices and conservation systems for fish forage growth are also disclosed.

An artificial reef structure including thin tensile members as part of the structure. These tensile members readily accumulate marine life to create a more organic structure. The reef structure can accommodate a wide variety of ocean sensing and communication systems. Embedded lighting and electronic elements can be used to attract and monitor marine life.
