Food crops grown in underwater biospheres

[UM-Bot]

A new way of growing food underwater is being tested out beneath the Bay of Noli in Savona, Italy.

Designed to enable crops to be grown in regions where traditional farming methods are impractical, the appropriately named "Nemo's Garden Project" has been running now for three years.

OK - If the biosheres are air filled, how does sea water evaporate and condense inside the sphere. If the temperature is a constant 25°C ther should be muchdew from the internal moisture. Am I missing something?

Other than that, quite interesting.

Uhmm, are these guys kidding us? Did anybody a part of this study do ANY studying on the sad state of the world’s oceans first? The late great Jacques Ives Cousteau did a great conservation study on the Mediterranean back in the 1970’s that produced some shocking readings. What is the state of this area of ocean today?

We’ve got Red Tides and Dead Zones the size of the state of Maine out there, not to mention islands composed entirely of garbage and plastics free floating as well. So, how about helping gather awareness for cleaning our oceans before rolling ahead to grow our next generation of food in places that are already DYING!?!?!

This would be a first step towards that. Get people to see the oceans as something more than the world's dumping ground.
