In section the hexagon would be an inverted H with long legs and the corners would be n with legs long enough to contain sufficient air for bouyancy. They could be grown below sea level then air pumped in to raise the corners above sea level to provide working platforms. I originally thought these could be grown around low lying islands anchored to the seabed, but have since realised that a large number of possibilties exist, as to their viability thats another question.<br /> This organisation http://www.algalita.org/index.php was founded to research ways to deal with the problem of the plastic residue. Ive been trying to think of ways to help but was unaware of the process you speak of which sounds ideal for part of the problem.<br />johnm33Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
