Vertical farming with seawater

This is fantastic. More power to them. Perhaps an idea whose time has come, and one that could be useful in many places around the world. Whether it is viable over the long-haul economically and otherwise remains to be seen, but it is a certainty that as the oil runs out and people need more food and fresh water, projects that produce both sustainably will be absolutely necessary. I would like to see something like this sort of idea used horizontally: parked next to the billions of tons of floating plastic waste accumulating in ocean gyres worldwide, recycling the accumulation into useful products, while at the same time producing the water, food, and energy necessary to maintain its crew.
