Ocean Plug Holes
Just off the east coast off Spain lies this collection of holes in the Mediterranean. They’re used to drain the Atlantic, which allows for regular cleaning of the sea-bed. Honestly.
OK, so I have absolutely no idea what they are. Do you?
Update: Well, not so much of an update, more of a summary. Our ever witty readers reckon this might be: Aliens, a conspiracy, genetically modified barnacles, fishnet stockings, suckers on the arm of a giant squid, a ketchup bottle farm, tuna cages, a huge lego brick, or perhaps even a giant-sized game of Battleships! And yet somehow we remain unconvinced that any of these is the solution…
Thanks to Glaucon.
That ocean looks like a pear of jeans.. it looks kinda like material.
And those holes could be for decoration
if you look at the waves…..it’s moving!!!!!
i can quite categorically say it is a triangle? keep it to yourselves.

I believe amio cajander might be right. I have found a few more of these things along the Spanish coast.

I think these may be the mines. a hoard of the sea mines to destroy submarines.
Hi all.
They are fish farms. I spend my hollydays in Alcossebre every year since 1995. The waves are produced by the current. The fish farm dont move, but the water surrounding does.
I found something similar while trying to find arial shots of Los Gigantes in the canary Islands…

They are fish breeding /farming nets.
Tare are similar ones of the coast of Fuengirola, Malaga

As I suspected and Knud Limschou confirmed, it is a fishery. The nets are about 50ft in diameter and allow the sea water to pass through them to give the breeding fish their natural environment (in captivity), and the fishery is about 930ft long by 335ft wide. The fishery is well marked by 4 outer buoys for passing ships to spot and avoid as well as the 4 buoys surrounding each of the 24 nets.
Excellent Mystery challenge:)

According to this article on the Flavorpill network, they’re fish-farms in the mediterranean.

Absolutely are FISH FARMS - actually, a recently published book about the Sushi Industry and its globalization, reports it as tuna fish farm for sushi http://www.boldtype.com/current/

(sorry for the animalist, but I love sushi, and we have a lot of cattle and other animals farms for food production, rights?)
