I'm not sure about the practicality of the Sea Tree, but there is something about the 'naturification' of human structures that I find completely fascinating. Artificial coral reefs (when not made from tires), are actually quite successful.

I think it would be great to have vertical parks in cities. Maybe even vertical nature reserves.

That was my thesis in grad school. Transform the 'edge' of Manhattan by altering the hard edge (its right there in the OP pic) into a series of interconnected biospheres.

We've taken a similar approach in Detroit. :)
