Found on a google maps trip to Al Jirab, Along the E11 24°05’14.0"N 53°55’27.0"E

I found this while looking for interesting places to share on the Top View community here on Lemmy

After some more research, the most likely candidates:

mangrove nurseries, salt harvesting, algae farm, coral nurseries.

But nothing yet is confirmed!

    They’re water farms, they just happen to be rectangular in shape thanks to the Seigneurial system

        Flood the plane, let the water evaporate, and you’ve got yourself some salt buddy

        Now if only we could do the same with pepper, we’d be set

          Ah … didn’t know that seasalt evaporation ponds are called water farms!

          I assumed you meant crop farming in water

          But yeah salt harvesting is one of the possibilities I originally posted in the description of the post. Others have commented that it does not seem likely when looking at the closeups.

          My bet is on mangrove nursery
