Overview

For centuries, some people around the world have chosen to make their homes in the middle of lakes, and on rivers and estuaries. Building floating communities requires ingenuity and resourcefulness - but these types of homes can provide a sustainable water and food supply, as well as great security. Animals, too, know that life afloat can be an excellent way to survive and prosper!
