Intensive fishing and pollution have caused large areas
in
the sea and ocean to become virtual "deserts". They
don't
have enough oxygen and most of the marine life died
away
or keeps away.
So here's the idea: Create long floating mangrove islands
connected in large circles, with a small
amount of wave
or
sea-flow powered air pumps, pumping oxygen into the
water, creating an underwater "conservatory" for fish.
Just
like there are land conservatories for Chimpanzees etc,
but these are undersea conservatories for "regular fish"
and other marine life.
I'm talking about mid sea marine life. No corals.
The "park
authority" will also use tethered underwater robots to
clean
the sea from plastic bags.
Within a short time, I'm sure there will be all kinds of
rare
fish and other marine life that will turn up. The place can
then be set up as a safari for rich visitors, or perhaps
for
growing food in floating aquaponics, with the small
amounts of water loss returned by natural dew.
No oxygen in sea water

//They don't have enough oxygen// Ah, link? |

Is this what you mean, [pashute]? (link) It doesn't mention intensive fishing as a cause but it does mention pollution as a possible/probable cause. |

I keep reading this as Mid-sea Rebab Conservatory. An installation in the Red Sea could serve both functions. |
