Construction experts at the Seasteading Institute have spent five years in trying to work out how to build 'permanent, innovative communities floating at sea'.

Rising sea levels pose a threat to the 118 islands which form the French Polynesia and now, according to ABC, the government has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Seastanding Institute.

Further investigations into the economic, environmental and legal impact of the scheme are now due to take place.
