This page should be filled out with the arguments in favor of a Breakwater Seastead (and maybe some against).
Arguments In Favor
Some arguments at BreakwaterBay.
- A breakwater marks out a particular territory where some set of rules will apply.
- It provides a sheltered area, so a service to boats or smaller seasteads that people would pay for (people pay to park boats in marinas all the time).
- A breakwater makes the individual family vessels much easier since they don't need to handle large waves.
Arguments Against
- Probably not the lowest cost way to make the first seastead.
- To fully stop waves in the deep ocean would take an enormous wall as they go down about half the wavelength. So a 600 foot long wave goes down about 300 feet. Not sure how well stopping the small waves and floating up and down with the big waves would really work out.
