Although Waterworld may be a fun movie, it depicts a dystopian future where food, water, and energy are scarce. But food, water, and energy are abundant in the ocean. Floating structures naturally provide rich ecosystems for mussels, clams, oysters, coral, algae, and fish. None of this aquaculture requires fresh water or soil. Imagine if your home was sitting on a perpetual source of energy that didn’t require drilling. The sad truth is that Waterworld is a parable for the problems with living on land.
