<div>In oceanography, a sea state is the general condition of the free surface on a large body of water—with respect to wind waves and swell—at a certain location and moment. A sea state is characterized by statistics, including the wave height, period, and power spectrum. The sea state varies with time, as the wind conditions or swell conditions change.

<br />
You set forth in your Articles of Incorporation:<br />
<br />
*A corporate name that contains the words “social purpose corporation” or “SPC”;<br />
*A statement that the corporation is organized as a social purpose corporation governed by the [http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=23B.25&full=true Social Purpose Corporation Chapter of Title 23B RCW];<br />
*A statement setting forth the general social purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized pursuant to Section 3 of the Act (<br />
<br />
Section 3 says that “[e]very corporation governed by this chapter must be organized to carry out its business purpose under RCW 23B.03.010 in a manner intended to promote positive short-term or long-term effects of, or minimize adverse short-term or long-term effects of, the corporation’s activities upon any or all of:<br />
<br />
1. the corporation’s employees, suppliers, or customers; <br />
2. the local, state, national, or world community; or <br />
3. the environment<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The shareholders of each SPC are required to choose the SPC’s social purposes and to define those purposes within the broad parameters outlined in RCW 23B.03.010 described above. For example, a corporation could choose as its social purpose to promote the welfare of its workers, thereby allowing company executives to make decisions based on the impact that any changes to the business might have on workers in addition to how they impact shareholder returns. Or, a corporation could choose as one of its social purposes to support farmers who practice environmentally sound practices by only buying goods produced by such farmers.<br />
<br />

"Benefit Corporations and [[Social Purpose Corporation]]s are entity types that were established in California with an eye towards allowing for-profit companies to engage in socially-minded activities traditionally carried out by non-profit organizations. Such activities are typically frowned upon by traditional corporation shareholders and the law.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that neither Benefit Corporations nor Social Purpose Corporations get special tax treatment in a way that non-profit organizations do. But both corporate types are structured as for-profit entities that can be used by for-profit entrepreneurs who consider themselves for-impact as well—that is, they want to have a social and environmental impact. But there are significant differences between the two that should be considered by entrepreneurs looking to stay in the for-profit realm while using their business to make a difference in the community and the environment.This article focuses on the differences between California Benefit Corporations and Social Purpose Corporations (which only exist in California).<br />
<br />
A Benefit Corporation is required to be formed for the purpose of creating general public benefit. This means that a Benefit Corporation must operate as a triple-bottom line business by considering its impact on the community and the environment, taken as a whole, along with generating profits for its shareholders. A Benefit Corporation is not allowed to give priority to any of the following factors when making decisions, unless it has stated otherwise in its Articles of Incorporation.<br />
<br />
Benefit Corporations may be sued by shareholders, directors, the corporation itself, or owners of a parent corporation in a “benefit proceeding” to determine whether the corporation is adequately pursuing its benefit purpose.<br />

"Benefit Corporations and [[Social Purpose Corporations]] are entity types that were established in California with an eye towards allowing for-profit companies to engage in socially-minded activities traditionally carried out by non-profit organizations. Such activities are typically frowned upon by traditional corporation shareholders and the law.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that neither Benefit Corporations nor Social Purpose Corporations get special tax treatment in a way that non-profit organizations do. But both corporate types are structured as for-profit entities that can be used by for-profit entrepreneurs who consider themselves for-impact as well—that is, they want to have a social and environmental impact. But there are significant differences between the two that should be considered by entrepreneurs looking to stay in the for-profit realm while using their business to make a difference in the community and the environment.This article focuses on the differences between California Benefit Corporations and Social Purpose Corporations (which only exist in California).<br />
<br />
A Benefit Corporation is required to be formed for the purpose of creating general public benefit. This means that a Benefit Corporation must operate as a triple-bottom line business by considering its impact on the community and the environment, taken as a whole, along with generating profits for its shareholders. A Benefit Corporation is not allowed to give priority to any of the following factors when making decisions, unless it has stated otherwise in its Articles of Incorporation.<br />
<br />
Benefit Corporations may be sued by shareholders, directors, the corporation itself, or owners of a parent corporation in a “benefit proceeding” to determine whether the corporation is adequately pursuing its benefit purpose.<br />

"If you plan to establish a flexible purpose corporation, then California ('''Edit''': and now Washington) is your only choice. But if you set your sights on creating a benefit corporation, then you can choose from a number of states.)"''<br />
<br />
Benefit Corporation statutes have been passed in 27 states across the country, and they have been introduced in 13 other states and territories. For example, Delaware signed into law its Benefit Corporation act in July 2013. Please note that the specific details of each state’s requirements may differ.

<br />
'''''A social purpose corporation (an “SPC”) is a Washington corporation that has organized itself to pursue one or more social purposes'''.<br />
<br />
How do you do this? You set forth in your Articles of Incorporation:<br />
<br />
*A corporate name that contains the words “social purpose corporation” or “SPC”;<br />
*A statement that the corporation is organized as a social purpose corporation governed by the [http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=23B.25&full=true Social Purpose Corporation Chapter of Title 23B RCW];<br />
*A statement setting forth the general social purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized pursuant to Section 3 of the Act (<br />
<br />
Section 3 says that “[e]very corporation governed by this chapter must be organized to carry out its business purpose under RCW 23B.03.010 in a manner intended to promote positive short-term or long-term effects of, or minimize adverse short-term or long-term effects of, the corporation’s activities upon any or all of:<br />
<br />
1. the corporation’s employees, suppliers, or customers; <br />
2. the local, state, national, or world community; or <br />
3. the environment<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The shareholders of each SPC are required to choose the SPC’s social purposes and to define those purposes within the broad parameters outlined in RCW 23B.03.010 described above. For example, a corporation could choose as its social purpose to promote the welfare of its workers, thereby allowing company executives to make decisions based on the impact that any changes to the business might have on workers in addition to how they impact shareholder returns. Or, a corporation could choose as one of its social purposes to support farmers who practice environmentally sound practices by only buying goods produced by such farmers.<br />
<br />
*A provision stating the following: “The mission of this social purpose corporation is not necessarily compatible with and may be contrary to maximizing profits and earnings for shareholders, or maximizing shareholder value in any sale, merger, acquisition, or other similar actions of the corporation.”''<br />
<br />
==Ramifications for Seasteading==<br />
<br />
Similar to a [[Co-op]], an SPC could be organized to provide benefit to workers as part of its value proposition. Alternatively (or in addition), it could be organized to promote [http://www.fao.org/fishery/nems/40712/en sustainable fisheries].<br />

*A corporate name that contains the words “social purpose corporation” or “SPC”;<br />
*A statement that the corporation is organized as a social purpose corporation governed by the [http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=23B.25&full=true Social Purpose Corporation Chapter of Title 23B RCW];<br />
*A statement setting forth the general social purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized pursuant to Section 3 of the Act (<br />
<br />
Section 3 says that “[e]very corporation governed by this chapter must be organized to carry out its business purpose under RCW 23B.03.010 in a manner intended to promote positive short-term or long-term effects of, or minimize adverse short-term or long-term effects of, the corporation’s activities upon any or all of:<br />

1. the corporation’s employees, suppliers, or customers; <br />
2. the local, state, national, or world community; or <br />
3. the environment<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The shareholders of each SPC are required to choose the SPC’s social purposes and to define those purposes within the broad parameters outlined in RCW 23B.03.010 described above. For example, a corporation could choose as its social purpose to promote the welfare of its workers, thereby allowing company executives to make decisions based on the impact that any changes to the business might have on workers in addition to how they impact shareholder returns.

The Center for Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture (CTSA) is one of five regional aquaculture centers in the United States established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The regional aquaculture centers integrate individual and institutional expertise and resources in support of commercial aquaculture development.<br />
<br />
CTSA was established in 1986 and is jointly administered by the Oceanic Institute and the University of Hawaii. The CTSA administrative office and staff are located at the Oceanic Institute’s Makapu’u Point site on windward Oahu.<br />

This is answered in [https://www.seasteading.org/frequently-asked-questions/ the FAQ].<br />
<br />
== Counterargument in favor of ships ==<br />
<br />
First, seasteads need to work with ships in order to transport goods and people to and from them. Seasteads probably would not be able to operate for very long without the support of ships (unless people ''really'' liked a diet heavy on sashimi). Seaplanes are faster than ships, but much shorter range and not as cost efficient for transportation of bulky or heavy items like food or machinery.<br />
<br />
Second, it may be possible with novel ships designs to meet more of the desired criteria for seasteads such as lessened wave coupling, large solar area, broad and open living areas, lower cost, etc. The greater mobility of a ship over a seastead can be an advantage for travel, trade, fleeing from attack or approaching storms, change of scenery, meeting new cultures, etc.<br />
<br />
For example, the proposed [http://www.hydrolance.net/page12.htm HARTH] design was removed from the Seasteading book draft, presumably because their claims for a drag reduction technology seem unlikely. But the general shape of their ships, sort of like a large catamaran, lends itself to large solar area and broad living spaces. HARTH ships are different from catamarans in that their hulls are shaped to interact minimally with waves and to stay mostly submerged. Waves would see a very narrow and shallow cross section due to the high aspect ratio and shallow draft of the submerged flotation hulls. If the floats are more then 300 meters long then typical long period ocean waves won't affect the ship very much in [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/head+seas head] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Following_sea following seas]. HARTH technology is largely unproven except for a 27 foot model, and the claimed drag reduction technology may not have appeared on an actual vessel yet. The [http://www.hydrolance.net/HARTH-EarlyTestVessel.htm model video], possibly shot in Puget Sound, may look positive.<br />
<br />
If a HARTH type ship did not have drag reduction, then it would lose the claimed speed advantage but it would still be relatively fast due to using high aspect ratio (i.e., narrow) displacement hulls. Even without high speeds due to drag reduction such a ship could be an advantage over exiting designs in areas we care about such as reduced wave interaction, large usable area, etc.<br />
<br />
Finally, simply being on the ocean is a major step into freedom, whether it's on a ship or seastead. Ships may also make a logical testing venue to try out some of the possible business models for seasteads even before any seasteads are built. [http://surgicruise.com/ SurgiCruise] is an example of a business that takes advantage of the lower regulatory costs of using ships in near-offshore waters.<br />
<br />
Even without any new ship designs, exiting large ships could be used to live on the ocean and/or to support seasteads.<br />

<br />
There are two areas of concern to providing freshwater on a seastead:<br />
<br />
#desalination or removing the salt from seawater<br />
#filtration/purification for making it potable and safe to drink. <br />
<br />
There are several methods for each step.<br />
<br />
==Distillation==<br />
<br />
This method can actually provide both desalination and potable water in one step, although it is traditionally very energy intensive, requires a good bit of space, and generates a lot of heat. Some alternate methods other than simply applying heat to boil water within a closed environment and allow it to condense in another container show promise. However, be cautioned that often, '''efficient''' methods are also inherently low volume and therefore '''may not be effective''' in providing the total solution.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is an interesting article about a [http://www.edie.net/news/news_story.asp?id=7574&title=Vacuum+based+desalination+method+could+be+solution+for+poor+nations thermal vacuum desalination method] that would be an excellent fit for a seastead. (In contrast,)<br />
[http://www.aquatechnology.net/vaporcompressiondistillers.html Vapor compression] is a relatively energy-efficient steam distillation method that's mature, available and already widely used.<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewvaporation "Dewvaporation"] is another low-temperature, efficient means of distilling seawater into fresh water. [https://www.usbr.gov/lc/phoenix/programs/cass/pdf/DewRpt/DewPltFnlRpt.pdf] [https://www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/1207231] [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011916406003912] [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001191640100371X] [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011916406003924] [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011916406004061]<br />

<br />
==Reverse Osmosis==<br />
[[Image:Water_Systems_Flowchart.png|frame|Water Systems Flowchart]]<br />
<br />
In the boating world, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis reverse osmosis] (RO) machines are also called "watermakers".<br />
<br />
One manufacturer is [http://www.katadyn.com link Katadyn].<br />

<br />

<br />
Osmosis is the process of liquid mixtures of different densities equalizing their density by diffusion and mixing. Reverse osmosis is the exact opposite- one liquid becomes less dense (in the relevant example for seasteading, seawater loses salt to become freshwater while adding extra salt to the seawater "brine" effluent that is higher concentration than normal). It takes additional energy to make one liquid less dense at the expense of another liquid becoming more dense, rather then the density of the two equalizing.<br />
<br />
Things that are important to know when designing a RO solution:<br />
<br />
-pore size of the filtration media used to remove salt from seawater<br />
-pore count per area (e.g. pores/sq cm)<br />
-the pressure used to force the water through it. <br />
<br />
These factors will determine the speed (unit volume per time unit, generally gallons or liters per hour) capacity of the RO system.<br />
<br />
Newer techniques are under experiment: [http://www.kurzweilai.net/graphene-oxide-sieve-turns-seawater-into-drinking-water Graphene Oxide]<br />
<br />
==Rainwater Harvesting==<br />
Rain is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the planet, most of it over the ocean (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_(meteorology) wikipedia]).<br />
<br />
If you ever lived in a tropical country, you quickly learn to expect a daily rain fall between 5 and 6 o'clock of about half an hour. And collecting rain fall is easy with a little planning and minimal materials. Rainwater can be collected in tarps, plastic sheeting, or any impermeable roof and some gutters into a cistern.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Dehumidification==<br />
<br />
In humid/subtropical to tropical environments, dehumidification is a vital part of maintaining a healthy living environment free of molds and mildew that can cause severe respiratory distress and skin diseases. It also preserves the materials your structure is built of. Such system are usually integral to HVAC (Heating, Venting, and Air Conditioning) systems as changing temperatures also changes the ability of the air to carry moisture, often resulting in condensation. This condensate can easily amount to several liters or even gallons per day per air conditioning unit. This requires a drain system designed to direct it away from damaging the structure, so it makes sense to capture it as fresh water. <br />
<br />
Straight condensate from HVAC is not yet potable water as it may come into contact with metals, lubricants, and materials which are not healthy for ingestion, in addition to trapping pollen, spores, and atmospheric contaminants along the way. But these impurities can be dealt with using a standard household water filter and do not require high energy reverse osmosis or distillation to be removed.<br />

[https://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/01/27/floating-islands/ The water in a lens is only supplied naturally from rain]. If the island is large and deep enough (40 times deeper that its height), it will be naturally protected against salt water intrusion. Otherwise, some watertight barrier (or a porous material that resists mixing of the liquid absorbed in it, like a coral ring) is needed. [http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/04/sinking_islands_or_stinking_is.html Withdraw too much water and allow it to run into the sea], and you will see the lens become shallower, perhaps enough that wells will have saltwater in their lower depths. Destroy your encircling coral ring (or whatever structure is preventing energetic mixing), and the whole thing [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/tuvalu/7799503/Pacific-islands-growing-not-shrinking-due-to-climate-change.html could be eroded away].<br />
<br />
==Filtration and Purification==<br />
"Freshwater" in the seasteading context merely refers to water that has a low salt content and does not necessarily mean the water is potable. It may still have biological contaminants (virus or bacterial) or particulate matter (especially from water catchment systems). It needs to be physically filtered, and usually sterilized either through heat, chemical bactericides, and/or possibly ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Standard home and commercial filtration systems will not remove all ''dissolved'' salt and other minerals, but generally will remove heavy metals (particulate, not dissolved) and most biologicals, given a small enough porosity.<br />

<div>Because the cost of building a full-blown megalopolis is unlikely to be achievable, any seastead design with the goal of reaching high population needs to be modular to allow for future growth. Individual platforms need to be able to attach to or at least allow residents to interact with other nearby platforms. This may be by means of physical connecting the edges of platforms to form bigger platform, or it may be by some means of bridging the gaps between them.<br />
<br />
For physical [[Connections]], the shape of the platform edge becomes very important.<br />

<div>Concrete building in marine environment has a long tradition that goes back to ancient rome. <br />
<br />
In modern times floating concrete shell structures has been used for industrial purpose on a large scale in the oil and gas industry.<br />
<br />
The advantage of floating concrete shell structures over steel is the by far better maintenance free service life of the structures that is estimated in some 200 years.<br />
<br />
Many spectacular concrete shell structures like TROLL A - in use for over 30 years in marine environment are in excellent shape, and perform outstanding.<br />
<br />
There has been experiments to use concrete shell building in shipbuilding. Although concrete ships performed well, a concrete ship will not fit well into the existing (steel oriented) ship support infrastructure so concrete as a building material has been limited to special segments.<br />
<br />
Industry platforms is one of them, submarine applications and seasteading will be others.<br />
