METHOD OF ANCHORING ARTIFICIAL SEAWEED FORMED OF SYNTHETIC ELONGATED, FLEXIBLE, IN WATER BUOYANT ELEMENTS SECURED TO ANCHORING BODIES, TO A FLOOR UNDERNEATH A BODY OF WATER, AND ARTIFICIAL SEAWEED TO BE ANCHORED BY THIS METHOD

摘要

A method and means for placing "artificial seaweed" in place on a particulate floor of a body of water comprises releasably securing the lower end of a fluid conduit to an anchoring means, such as a dish-shaped plastic article, having strands of buoyant, water-resistant elongated flexible strands secured thereto and having fluid outlet orifices communicating with said fluid conduit and directed against said particulate floor; forcing fluid through said conduit while said anchoring means is adjacent to or resting on or pressed against said floor to displace particulate matter; causing said anchoring means to settle into the resulting cavity as it is formed; discontinuing flow of said fluid; permitting particulate to settle over said anchoring means; and disconnecting said conduit.
