Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights recent research and developments in floating structures on rivers, lakes, seas and oceans for energy harvesting,



aquaculture and farming, leisure activities, infrastructure, industrial plants, real estate and cities, with a focus on sustainably living, relaxing and working offshore. Bringing together international experts and leaders, from both industry and academia it reviews and discusses ocean space utilization, and offers an ideal platform for those wanting to establish new collaborations on floating structure projects.
