Yep, alot of that sort of thing was pioneered most visibly University of the Virgin Islands (they have a little issue with regards to fresh water). A domestic (US based) operation called S&S Aqua Farm took it bigtime..making a killing off basil (of all things) until the market was flooded by foreign basil following the passage of NAFTA (crashed the market to 4$ a pound)..making their model unprofitable. They switched gears to agri-tourism and consulting at that point. More recently integrated agriculture got another spot in the limelight with The Freshwater Institute that funded and operated a test site based around shut in gas well heated greenhouse production. It's my dream system (and the reason I moved to Kentucky). I've got the whole report if you're interested in that sort of thing........even includes the design specs and product codes for manufacture, operational costs...issues they ran into, projected (and actual) margins of profit...it's exhaustive...public domain ftw bitches!
