Floating gardens development

== ABSTRACT ==
Open_Sailing is developing "nomadic_ecosytem", as a part of its vital modules for the International_Ocean_Station_1 prototype.
In this article we are trying to design floating gardens in order to sustain the life of the International_Ocean_Station_1 navigators for an non-determined period of time in semi-autonomy.
We have divided this fraction of research in 3 weeks :
- week 1 : human physiological need assessment, ocean capacities and overfishing alternatives, theoretical exploration of existing aquaculture models - design of several permaculture aquaculture modules suitable for the high-seas. We are trying to gather all techniques that we could use later in our design proposal, the floating garden being a modular polyvalent platform for different experiences.
- week 2 : assessment of fabrication capacities on site, fabrication of small scale model, test in the water, re-design, re-fabrication of small prototypes, selection of one for production, optimization
- week 3 : fabrication of the best prototype, test in the high sea (real conditions, french Britanny), reporting.
- week 1 : human physiological need assessment, ocean capacities and overfishing alternatives, theoretical exploration of existing aquaculture models - design of several permaculture aquaculture modules suitable for the high-seas. We are trying to gather all techniques that we could use later in our design proposal, the floating garden being a modular polyvalent platform for different experiences.
- week 2 : assessment of fabrication capacities on site, fabrication of small scale model, test in the water, re-design, re-fabrication of small prototypes, selection of one for production, optimization
- week 3 : fabrication of the selected prototype, test at sea (real conditions, french Britanny), reporting.
