The transparent "biospheres" beneath the Bay of Noli, in Savona, Italy, are part of the three-year-old Nemo's Garden project, which aims to find innovative ways of growing crops in places that lack freshwater or fertile soil (Fig 1). Resembling large balloons, the air-filled structures are anchored to the sea floor and float between 5 and 10 meters below the surface. A mercury U-tube manometer inside the biosphere attached to the biosphere surface which is designed to indicate the water pressure outside. It is located at 10 m deep as shown in Fig 2.
