For the structure .. man_made=raft? I would think this extends over a 
larger area then the plants.

I'd assume these are anchored? So anchored=yes?


And for the farming ... landuse=hydroponics ?

Possibly these are actually nurseries that grow the plants that are, 
when mature, planted in front of storm water outlets? landuse=plant_nursery?
