Some structures in the ocean

[Ede02]

What is it for? Land winning? Aqua-Culture?

Aquaculture

There are gates to control the flow of water/ to attach net for fish catching.

Good catch Edeo2 ... Guten tag.

It looks more like land reclamation to me.

[SSSALVI]

For land reclamation they will start filling from the existing land shore.

Here they have built blocking walls through which water can enter and can be blocked when it is coming out by closing/putting nets in the channels ( see placemark 'Channel' )

Hence Edeo appears to be correct in his Aqua Culture part.

No way, that structure is four square kilometers nearly, they wouldn't build something that big, and that costly, just to put fishing nets across.

Those channels are there to let the water out as they fill the space in, it's either that or pump it out.

And look on the land, you can see where it has been reclaimed.

I agree, let alone the distance away from any reasonable civilization...

What is the sense of reclaiming that bit of land when there is TONS of it available in that area? Those are certainly man-made structures which is pretty weird in and of itself considering how relatively remote the area is.

It looks like they're trying to reclaim land they previously lost, and to save that peninsula, if they don't do something it'll become an island.

On the land adjacent, among all the lines that look like garden walls or something, there's a line of at least 16 forms that appear to be hipped roofs of long thin buildings, each 50 feet wide, that have become almost buried in the sand.

And part of another, parallel line 900' behind that, of identical buildings, most of which are either demolished or completely buried. And it looks like the two lines of buildings were back-to-back, with a wall or something separating the back yards, and roads 400' in front of each line of roofs. Maybe an abandoned naval base?

Initially I disagreed with Billy's argument ( Even though I get scared when I see his avatar ). ;)
But later these areas only appeared to give a credence to his theory.. this appears to be the land already reclaimed by the same method. You can see that the sand pattern in the bookmarked area and the area already reclaimed is the same.

Are we talking about the same thing? I mean the shapes in this photo -- two lines of them, each 16 meters wide, various lengths, shaped like very elongated pyramids (a ridge in the long direction, and sloping down in all four directions with "hips" at the corners). I thought they looked like roofs of partially buried buildings.

Of course, they could be sand dunes formed around some simpler shape. Or sand compacted or cemented into that shape, which would explain why some of them seem to have been partly or totally blown away. But the drifting doesn't follow the pattern visible everywhere else in the area, of drifting in a north/south direction.

You think they're for land reclamation? And you see something resembling them out in the water? I can't find that.

Is it possible that this is a shark net?

It's like ther is a constant Southerly wind there, all the drag patterns of that area point North.

Also, notice the cabling arrangement, just South of all this discussion. Several dots going at 45 degrees. They pop out again on the other side of the water. Draw an imaginary line with a straight edge on your telly to find them.
