"Winds carry salt spray inland, leaving salt deposits on plants. Salt causes water to move out of the plants in a process called exosmosis. Especially on young leaves, this often results in the marginal burning and loss of leaves in non-salt-tolerant plants." Reference: Salt-Tolerant Plants for Florida
Agriculture for the incipient Seasteader falls into 4 obvious areas of practice, any or all of which benefit from working with nature, climate, and biology rather than against it. Choosing plants which will thrive in, on, or near the ocean is critical for success and efficient use of resources, including space, nutrients, fresh water, and manpower. The thre areas are:
- Food & Fodder production (for humans and livestock)
- Fiber and building materials
- Eco-remediation and environmental engineering (dealing with pollutants & waste streams, and physical concerns such as wave attenuation, erosion control, sun shade, and wind breaks)
- Psychological relief of visually austere environments, i.e. landscaping for beauty and comfort
