One of the more striking places to see adoption in the animal kingdom is Ano Nuevo Island, rising from the sea less than one kilometre off the rocky California coast.

This lack of discriminatory ability is seen particularly starkly in Lake erie's ring-billed gulls. Nest invasions are common,

Ocean living: A step closer to reality? The 1995 film Waterworld was one of Hollywood's most infamous budget busters oe a mega-million-dollar post-apocalyptic thriller that,

More importantly, it may also have helped do the same to the idea of mankind living on the sea.

Though scientists aren't predicting sea-level rises of the magnitude seen in Waterworld oe hundreds of feet thanks to melting polar ice caps oe we may have to plan for a world with much higher sea levels.

or at least some of us, will live on the ocean. Designer and architect Buckminster Fuller saw cities at sea contributing to a sustainable future for humanity.

or worse, of wealthy"robber barons  escaping to the high seas for financial reasons. Now, several groups are trying to change this perception by researching technologies that could help create floating cities,

Today, some 7, 000 Tankas still maintain a sea farming life oe possibly a preview of a future to come for many more of us.

We see signs that a"blue revolution  in ocean harvesting technology is underway, suggesting floating cities can't be far off.

Given enough time, Kampachi Farms will replace stagnant ponds with GPS-tracked cages stitched out of copper wire to enable a constant inflow of fresh ocean water without flushing out the precious fish.

but the abundant sunlight and acres surrounding these pods will be feed enough to vast ocean ranches,

it's not far-fetched to imagine hundreds of these plants grazing the high seas, trading abundant seafood surpluses with cities on land.

Shell's example demonstrates the long-lived feasibility of living on the sea. In fact, most fundamental challenges of living safely on the ocean have been solved by offshore drilling

or shipping companies (cruise lines got satellite internet years ago, while most of Asia and Africa still lack it).

the logistical challenges needed allow a community to live on the high seas can be solved one at a time. British designer Phil Pauley has developed a concept for a sea habitat comprising interconnected spherical modules that could submerge during storms

and rest at the surface in good weather. The long vertical trusses holding up Pauley's design use Fuller's principles for strong, lightweight"tensegrity  structures.

Even after 2, 000 years of the sea's harsh beating, a Roman harbour built with a mixture of standard concrete

We are already researching ways to harvest food and energy in deeper, more remote parts of the ocean.

These cities of the sea could use algal biofuel production and store energy from wind and the Sun. As designs improve oe

and get cheaper oe the idea of a home on the ocean will become more affordable.

Consider the ancient aqueduct system built in the 4th century that supplied Constantinople with water from 250km away;

and Delta Works transformed a shallow inland sea of 3, 500 sq km into both fertile agricultural land and a coastal buffer that reduced flooding and provided fresh water.

Rather than discharging brine into the ocean, scientists are developing multiple mixing ponds as wetlands to reduce the toxicity of the brine as well as to cultivate habitat.

 Conceptually, this method of treatment has precedent. In Shanghai, in a project known as Houtan Park, artificial wetlands have been used to treat polluted waters along the city's Huangpu riverfront.

Water management strategies should also be implemented down to the level of industrial sites, where improvements can build on existing networks of freshwater tributaries, tidal estuaries,

infrastructure and engineered ecosystems. Many types of industry and energy production oe including hydropower mineral extraction and mining or fuel production oe rely on vast quantities of water.

the design team Koetter Kim suggested cooling towers could be replaced by recirculating water through green space such as wetlands, walls of vegetation, agriculture and fountains.

In the UK, the London Wetland Centre functions as such a working landscape; its habitats are built into clay-lined pools

scientists modeling this scenario have found that replacing tundra with trees will melt sea ice

More importantly, the researchers model predicts that the increased water vapor would melt more sea ice,

resulting in more absorption of sunlight by the open ocean and dumping more water vapor into the atmosphere.
