<div>Asked Council what they are for & they advise that they
are moored, floating rafts, used to grow reeds & other
aquatic plants, which are anchored in front of storm-water
drains so as to improve water quality.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So what would we call them?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>TI says that leisure=raft is used twice (once as "yes"
& the other as "designated"), but these aren't for leisure
purposes.</div>

<div>There's a seamark type "
Marine farm/culture":
<i>An assemblage of cages, nets, rafts and floats or posts
where fish, including shellfish, are artificially
cultivated.</i> Not really?</div>

<p>For the structure .. man_made=raft? I would think this extends
over a larger area then the plants. <br>
</p>
<p>I'd assume these are anchored? So anchored=yes?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And for the farming ... landuse=hydroponics ? <br>
</p>
<p>Possibly these are actually nurseries that grow the plants that
are, when mature, planted in front of storm water outlets?
landuse=plant_nursery?<br>
