Design Pattern: How to Build An Artificial Reef
If you are into the sea or vast oceans and its biosphere, then this is an instruction for you on how to hack nature. I will try and describe what an artificial reef is and then I am going to try and make a design pattern that you can use if you want to build your own local reef. You can copy the instructions and re-post them or improve them. If you were to improve this design pattern then let me know and I can post the better version. Kopimi!
Artificial Reefs
“For a structure to be given the true title “Artificial Reef” it must conform to the four following requirements:

Open Sailing
I saw this link thanks to MissPirata and I thought that I really wanted to share it with you. The following information comes from the Open_Sailing initiative:
In order to live at sea, we’re pioneering an entirely new form of marine architecture. Open_Sailing acts like a giant organism, a cluster of intelligent units that can react to their environment, change shape and reconfigure themselves. They talk to each other. They’re modular, re-pluggable, pre-broken, post-industrial and self-sufficient. Open_Sailing is a project that is well underway. We are a constantly growing, international team of around 15 people designing and engineering a prototype that is being built now in the UK, France and [...]
