The idea is young, but the vision is real. The sea tree will provide a sustainable habitat for a diverse populous of wildlife. The potential uses of this design are great in cities devastated by urban pollution and poor planning. Wildlife havens may prove be essential to the preservation of certain species endangered by modern urban society. Koen Olthuis came up with the concept because it is so difficult to add extra park zones to a city on land. Open space such as rivers, seas, lakes and harbours should instead be utilised, he believes. He proposes using offshore technology similar to oil rigs to construct the Sea Trees and has even suggested that oil companies donate them to cities to show 'their concern for a better city environment.'

Eco-friendly: Designed for use in cities with large waterways, such as London and New York, the Sea Trek will not be accessible to humans |
 |
Positive effect: The Sea Tree will allow all sorts of wildlife to thrive in areas of cities where it previously was unable to do so  |
