I like it, but the part about the disaster and the island littering the area I thought was rather unclear. So I would like to add that it was hurracane Emily which destroyed Spiral Island and that the debri was localized within a few hundred feet on a beach where construction of condos was about to begin. In fact that was the very reason why Spiral Island was moored in such a vunerable position at the end of a rock pier and only one week away from sailing to a more natural location and It took only one week to clean it up with the help of Puerto aventuras,s clean up team. I was tying to get it back in the water, the mangroves were sprouting again after only a few days.<br>  Yes there are many natural Island so why build an artificial one?<br>  Have you ever thought that if the oceans do rise how much land we will lose?<br>  Have you ever thought about how we will sustain ourselves as a human species as the population increases and recources are used up?<br>  And think how exiting and how much fun it would be to travel around the globe on an Island, even go to wher the flotsom and jettsom trash is gathering and use that to enlarge and as it grows it becomes stronger with the outer salt resistent plants  protecting the inner more vunerable ones and Islands like that could even provide a way to survive like arks through times of global trouble!<br><br>  The net fruit sacks and nets which hold the bottles beacame interwoven with salt resistent mangrove roots, they had grown to over 7 meters tall in only 5 years, which is higher than the mangroves on shore where they were taken from. I transplanted the young mangroves in the dry season when most young mangroves wither from lack of water.There was always water for the roots on the Island as it rose and dropped with the changing levels, so they grew much faster and stronger on the Island. The mangrove roots actualy provided a very good organic buffer stopping bottles rubbing together and wearing thin with the movement of the waves. This and the fact that they were in the cool water away from destructive solar rays ensured their long life. In fact after 6 years some of the first bottles to be put in the Island were checked and found to be fine. Sea weed quickly grows on the nets and bags making sure that fish do not get trapped by filling in the gaps and adding a slippy covering, then shell fish and corals start to grow in turn providing a habitat for many other types of marine life. <br>  My dry compost tiolet was built on a platform over a waterproof tarp above the mangrove roots. There was no leakage into the ocean and with a light covering of leaves also no unpleasant odor, this made usable compost for plants such as bananas, melons, tomatoes etc.<br>  The sand I took from the beach actually helped the passage of boats into the marina because the prevaling winds almost constantly blew sand into the marina,s entrance. I would take some from the edge where there was too much. Yes sand can be washed off easily and with the new Island the beaches will hinge back and fit together like a puzzle for travelling in open waters. <br>The new spiral Island Jouxsqey will be opening in August 2008,,,please come and explore this amazing possibility of making selfsustainable land on the ocean, from TRASH to TREASURE* ISLAND!<br><br>If there are any other questions please post them to the website  <a href=\"http://spiralislanders.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">spiralislanders.com</a><br><br>Love peace and Joyfulfun,,,Richart Sowa", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-06-06_14:10:30", "killed": false, "user_key": "acc2c24834fe10b871db4e16d5bc25e4", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "1 year ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 1, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "4089572": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "kudos to this man, he should be awarded for this endeavor.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-06-03_12:04:31", "killed": false, "user_key": "c3765cd4eb159ba6dd48ae655eb3339e", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "1 year ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "4089573": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "some one said something abouthim trasfering invasive species, I belive ther is really no so thing.

For it to be a solution to the earth\'s eco-problems, everyone would have to do the same, but most people, selfish as they be, are the vast majority, don\'t want to give up their luxuries.<br>Not that this is relevant, I\'m fifteen. I can\'t find many people that express themselves properly on the Internet nowadays. It\'s a shame.</div>\

I like it, but the part about the disaster and the island littering the area I thought was rather unclear. So I would like to add that it was hurracane Emily which destroyed Spiral Island and that the debri was localized within a few hundred feet on a beach where construction of condos was about to begin. In fact that was the very reason why Spiral Island was moored in such a vunerable position at the end of a rock pier and only one week away from sailing to a more natural location and It took only one week to clean it up with the help of Puerto aventuras,s clean up team. I was tying to get it back in the water, the mangroves were sprouting again after only a few days.<br>  Yes there are many natural Island so why build an artificial one?<br>  Have you ever thought that if the oceans do rise how much land we will lose?<br>  Have you ever thought about how we will sustain ourselves as a human species as the population increases and recources are used up?<br>  And think how exiting and how much fun it would be to travel around the globe on an Island, even go to wher the flotsom and jettsom trash is gathering and use that to enlarge and as it grows it becomes stronger with the outer salt resistent plants  protecting the inner more vunerable ones and Islands like that could even provide a way to survive like arks through times of global trouble!<br><br>  The net fruit sacks and nets which hold the bottles beacame interwoven with salt resistent mangrove roots, they had grown to over 7 meters tall in only 5 years, which is higher than the mangroves on shore where they were taken from. I transplanted the young mangroves in the dry season when most young mangroves wither from lack of water.There was always water for the roots on the Island as it rose and dropped with the changing levels, so they grew much faster and stronger on the Island. The mangrove roots actualy provided a very good organic buffer stopping bottles rubbing together and wearing thin with the movement of the waves. This and the fact that they were in the cool water away from destructive solar rays ensured their long life. In fact after 6 years some of the first bottles to be put in the Island were checked and found to be fine. Sea weed quickly grows on the nets and bags making sure that fish do not get trapped by filling in the gaps and adding a slippy covering, then shell fish and corals start to grow in turn providing a habitat for many other types of marine life. <br>  My dry compost tiolet was built on a platform over a waterproof tarp above the mangrove roots. There was no leakage into the ocean and with a light covering of leaves also no unpleasant odor, this made usable compost for plants such as bananas, melons, tomatoes etc.<br>  The sand I took from the beach actually helped the passage of boats into the marina because the prevaling winds almost constantly blew sand into the marina,s entrance. I would take some from the edge where there was too much. Yes sand can be washed off easily and with the new Island the beaches will hinge back and fit together like a puzzle for travelling in open waters. <br>The new spiral Island Jouxsqey will be opening in August 2008,,,please come and explore this amazing possibility of making selfsustainable land on the ocean, from TRASH to TREASURE* ISLAND!<br><br>If there are any other questions please post them to the website  <a href="http://spiralislanders.com" rel="nofollow">spiralislanders.com</a><br><br>Love peace and Joyfulfun,,,Richart Sowa</div>\

I think your idea is perfect! i have always dreamed of doing something like this, but always just thought it was a crazy idea. Now i see that you have done it! it is amazing. and you have got SO many wheels turnin in my head now. I am VERY interested in building my own floating island for me and my girl. just wondering about some laws against doing this. . .do you know if you can just build one anywhere? or do you have to have permits? or what&gt;? I have some GREAT ideas on building a self sustaining floating island, and i WILL build one as soon as i can figure out the legalities of building this. is it better to build in mexico than america? or maybe somewhere els? . . .if you could start all over and do it all again. . . .where would you start building at and why? THANK you so much for the inspiration. and keep on keepin on man! hopefully we will meet one day, . .. maybe in the middle of the ocean! lol. <br>Andrew</div>\

Maybe as he moves forward in his endevour he will inspire even more people to think outside the box, or at the risk of sounding cliche, "Realize that there is no box"! I find that Mr Zowa\'s accomplishmet has seemingly opened somewhat of a pro and con discussion. Also some questions regarding his procurment of something as abundant as sand. You have got to be kidding! I think that there is a part in most of us that would love to see him succeed and that we should embrace his attempt to look past what we see as normal and forge new ideas.

If the Titanic had only had plastic bottles packed in the balast compartements it may very well not have sunk! As I write now there are sadly probably boats sinkingnside  and they could have plastic bottles iinside their hulls to make sure they continue to float even if they break in two* The Island which was wiped onto the shore by hurracane emily was not finished or ready for the ocean,,,and now we have a new one in the lagoon at isl mujeres,,,please come and see for your self. The edges are now stronger and as time passes shall get even stronger. I do know that the mangroves after one year maintain themselves by sucking nutrients from the water and therefore cleaning it and shedding leaves to give a layer of compost. Sea life flourishes in the shade and soon the bottle base is covered with seaweed mollusks and even corals* The vegetation also gives out oxygen into a depleting atmosphere and because of their fast growth can be often pruned to provide wood for constuction. These Islands if there were enough could provide licing space for millions of people and animals extending the planets ecology onto lakes rivers and the ocean.</div>\
