Sounds wonderful in concept, but in practice I could envision some serious problems that would need to be dealt with. Continuous sources of food and fresh water being among them. Too bad you can’t drink the water from the ocean, and that cattle don’t have gills. I suppose one could grow an adequate garden for a handful of people, but vegetable bearing plants tend to not like ocean water either. Such issues immediately make you dependent on someone who is on the mainland to produce something for you, just for survival. You’re also going to need something to trade for those consumables. I don’t see much in the way of revenue generation living out on the ocean, so you are gonna need a padded bank account on day one just to sustain the people living out there and the operation.

If you support the Global Warming, er, Climate Change agenda, you could get a slew of grants...that’s generating revenue isn’t it?
