Offshore aquaport plans gain interest amid noisy city critics
The FAA backs a Parsons study proposing man made offshore airports to relieve crowded airspace. New York and Los Angeles areas explore sites in Long Island Sound and Santa Monica Bay with methods including dikes, piles, and floating structures. Costs run to 6 to 10 billion dollars with potential land sale proceeds and multi use as seaports and power plants. Boston and San Diego weigh similar aqua port ideas while Palmdale faces environmental delays.
