Abstract

A floating Fishermen'"'"'s island for growing 10,000 tons of fish and seafood within multiple water-filled ring-tube fishery, including auxiliary fish growing pools and recreation boating, fishing and water sports amenities. The Island comprising equally spaced radial Island member array made of molded plastic emerging from a floating Island center with cylindrical ends pivoted to island center arms-ends and to island outer boat docking segments. Vertical poles extending island radial members supporting walk-over-water fishermen'"'"'s deck segments above water-filled ring-tube fishery for fishing from fish pools underneath. Connection cable connects each island radial member underneath the ring-tubes, with cable to anchor the island to seabed. A ‘walk over water’ elevated deck connected with bridges over poles multiple radial island docking for large service boats, sail boats and speed boats comprising multiple radial island boat docking segments, service boat docking segments allow loading and unloading reef for multiple service, sail and motorboats.

Claims

1. A fisherman'"'"'s island for growing 10,000 tons of fish and seafood comprising:

a. multiple water filled ring tube fishery, made of recycled plastic moldable and floatable compounds and a multiple island radial member array emerging from an island center and along equally spaced radii, and

b. the ends of each said island radial members are pivoted and secured internally to said island center and externally to an island outer docking reef, whereas said Island radial members are emerging from said island center and spreading outwards towards said island outer docking reef, and

c. each said island radial member comprises a vertical deck pole extending upwards above water level, supporting a plurality of walk-over-water fisherman'"'"'s deck segments hanging above said water-filled ring-tube fishery, and

d. each said island radial member comprises a vertical centering inner and a vertical centering outer adaptor located relative to said ring-tube fishery inner diameter and outer diameter respectively and extended deep in the water with a cable connection end, and

e. a connecting cable attached to said inner and outer cable connection ends located underneath said ring-tube fishery whereas said connecting cable keeps the location of said island radial members relative to said ring-tube fishery

f. said connection cable is extended from said outer cable connection end into an anchor attached to seabed whereas said island radial member is located and secured to the seabed thus keeping said fishermen'"'"'s Island from moving from its fixed location under rough sea conditions, keeping stability during storms, and

g. said island center consists of a cylindrical main portion with multiple radial sectors and with multiple radially centered arms with an arm-end hole, where each of said arm-end holes accepts the end of said island radial member, and

h. a bolted hinge pin clamps the end of each said island radial member to said arm-end holes attached to said island center, and

i. said walk-over-water fisherman'"'"'s deck consists of multiple radial segments with multiple connection walking bridges, each supported by said vertical deck pole of each said island radial member, wherein said walking-over-water deck is located above said water-filled ring-tube fishery enabling recreational fishing activities for fishermen from a plurality of fish pools located underneath said walk-over-water deck, and

j. a plurality of external island docking reefs for service boats and other boats, connected to each other and pivoted to the external end of said island radial member whereas said plurality of external island docking reefs connected together to create a docking-boat ring, comprising;

i. a plurality of right-side radial island boat docking reefs with docking reefs for multiple boats, each bolted to a left-side radial island boat docking reef with a bolted plate such that it creates docking reefs for multiple boats, and

ii. each right-side island boat docking reef and each left-side island boat docking reef having an extension with a through hole, wherein each said right-side radial island boat docking reef and each said left-side radial island boat docking reef are connected together to the external end of said island radial member, and

iii. a plurality of island service boat docking segments, the right side of said island boat docking segments is bolted to said left-side radial island boat docking reef, and the left side of said island boat docking segments is bolted to said right-side radial island boat docking reef wherein said island service boat docking segments are connected to said right-side radial island boat docking reefs and said left-side radial island boat docking reefs to create a continuous docking ring around said ring-tube fishery.
