The Seasteading Institute

1) Build where there aren’t any of those things

2) Utilize breakwater structures to protect the main seastead

3) Build big, so there is less impact on the structure

Very few details available.
 
The video talks about using sodium, but the flyer shows lithium.  He does mention lithium in the video, but there is no other information available.  What is the organic liquid […]

I can confirm you can neither edit nor delete a post, even right after you have posted it.
 
POS software.  TSI sure wanted to kill these forums and they did a bang-up job…

Ugh, garbage WordPress.  Sorry, all my indentations and formatting weren’t carried over when I clicked submit.  Much of my post was taken from the books, and were indented as quotes.  Sorry if it’s hard to follow. […]

I’ve been working on this question a lot: is there even such a thing as “artificial natural land”?  There is very little, if any, legal precedent regarding this issue.  Mostly what I can determine is that UNCLOS […]

This is a very interesting idea.  It kinda fits under my “Viva la revolution!” post from several years back (http://www.seasteading.org/forum-list/topic/viva-la-revolution/).
 
The idea is you don’t use this […]

It’s been tried, recently, dumping sand/dirt on an unclaimed sandbar to raise it above water at high tide (the definition of an island). An existing island nation promptly sent in military and confiscated it, […]

I have serious doubts that you’ll be able to grow anything topsides.  The salt air and spray is going to cause all manner of problems, plus it’s a very inefficient use of space.  Aeroponics is going to be the only […]

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions
 
You’re welcome.
 
I am now left to wonder how these modern provisions of admiralty law impact the concept of the seastead in […]

No captain in the right mind, of any vessel, man o’war or merchant will dare tell a 200′ seastead captain with lets say 60 crew abourd,…”You can’t fish 150 miles offshore”.
 
Unless that vessel is […]

What guarantee and security did the Pilgrims have at the time of landing?
 
None, but you cannot compare the global geopolitical landscape of 2012 with the 1600s.
 
Also, do you know what happened […]

That’s why the first seasteads should be mobile artificial floating islands. Then, forget about the EEZ bullshit. You are a vessel now and you have the right of passage over any EEZ whenever you […]

Respect….

is Sealand entitled…to maintain it’s own EEZ?
 
Sealand is not entitled to an EEZ under UNCLOS for the following reasons:
1) It is not a State.
2) It is technically an artificial island, and islands have their own […]
