Edible Salt Water Plants for Ocean & Raft Survival
It is upon request that I am posting about the possibility of saltwater aquaponics. It is fully possible, in theory to have a salt water aquaponics system comprised of edible salt water plants and nice coastal saltwater fish. I will stay on the plant base since it is harder to think of plants to deal with salt water. This system could be adopted for use for ocean, sea, and raft survival.

Irrigating Crops with Seawater
As the world’s population grows and freshwater stores
become more precious, researchers are looking to the sea
for the water to irrigate selected crops

Floating plant cultivation platform and method for growing terrestrial plants in saline water of various salinities for multiple purposes
US 20050044788 A1
Abstract
The cultivation of terrestrial plants in brackish water or seawater is carried out with this invention. A light-weight, floating growth medium package (FGMP) or, alternatively, a sheet of suitable material is used to support the growth of terrestrial plants floating on water bodies of various salinity, including 100% seawater in marine environments. The FGMP units can be linked together and confined in a floating, rigid or flexible framework to form a floating seawater cultivation platform (FSCP). Using the method, plants were able to grow and thrive on the FSCP floating on 100% seawater in a sustainable manner. Halophytic akulikuli (Sesuvium portulacastrum L.) can regenerate its shoot and root in seawater. Thus, the discovery will enable us to practice marine agriculture, or agriculture on the sea. The FSCP can be used for wide range of purposes, from environmental protection to landscaping to crop production.
