Getting fresh seafood to an inland city takes
a fair amount dedication, since it typically
has to be flown or driven in from the coast.
Instead, we could build a saltwater-filled
pipeline from the coast to one or more points
inland and pump live fish, crustaceans, and
the like through it.

And who is going to clean up the squid slicks in Nebraska? |
|
| |
So alongside the gas and water mains we now have chow meins? |
|
| |
To clean it, from time to time we could flip open the top half of the pipe and let the seagulls peck it dry. |

[frnkus] I like this idea so (+) You can take
a look at my Breakfast Hose sometime to
see why, but I have a question: In what
direction would the water have to be
pumped, to cope with live salmon? |

First, people eat seafood only if they live by the sea.
Then, refrigeration and transportation bring frozen seafood inland. - Overfishing becomes a problem.
Now, an idea to pipe mass quantities of live fish inland... |

[xenzag], it could incorporate a return water line for the salmon. Which would keep Omaha from filling up with salt water, and maybe reduce pumping costs. |

I don't think this would be do-able, but [+] |

That's terrible. 'Pumping' live animals though a long stretch of narrow tubing with foreign sea creatures and a rapidly varying climate is inhumane so loses my otherwise positive vote. |

Love it! If I were a fish and I had to die anyways, then why not have the ride of a lifetime when it's still possible. |
|

Terrible idea, but truly halfbaked so avoids a fish. |
|

Now a pastry pipeline - that *would* be useful. |
