The Floating Island Project in French Polynesia explained

This video explains the Floating Island Project in French Polynesia. It describes its regulatory framework and describes how the aim of creating floating islands is partly motivated by tackling sea level rise.

Very nice. Looking forward to more on this.

Damn, I didn't realize we were getting close to having a real place yet. I realize this is kind of an alpha version of sea-steading, but still, very cool.

Интересно, как будет обеспечиваться безопасность?

So you want to build a floating version of the wealthy gated community, that offers little to zero benefit to the local community. Or am I wrong, and you mean to take in and house all those islanders whose homes are already disappearing beneath the waves?

I can't seem to get on the discussion forum on seasteading.org. did something happen to it while i was gone?

The sea level is rising, at most, 1 inch every hundred years, so Tahiti is safe from sinking beneath the waves. Lets instead promote how this will offer freedom on the sea - a much better selling point.

Hopefully the California based company doesn’t mess it up like everything else they touch.
