Method of Anchoring Artificial Seaweed Formed of Synthetic Elongated, Flexible, in Water Bouyant Elements Secured to Anchoring Bodies, to a Floor Underneath a Body of Water, and Artificial Seaweed for Use in 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.
