Abstract
As sea levels continue to rise higher with each passing day, large populations residing in coastal communities around the world will soon be turned into climate migrants, in search of a new space to inhabit. This forces the world to face the inevitable question - where will these people go? This thesis delves into questions on the state of the forcibly displaced, proposing the migration towards the uncharted frontiers of the ocean, using it as a suitable incubator for the development of a self-sustaining micronation. Utilising tools such as fiction, infrastructure and integrated hybrid systems, the objective of this project is to reimagine the creation of a new socio-ecological reality for these margainalised communities. Exploring the idea of embracing nomadism in order to better adapt to this new way of life on the sea, it also allows the target demographic to ease their transition from a state of extreme subjugation into a state of pure freedom.
