An Ocean-Based Framework for Autonomous Self-Replicating Probes and Seawater Resource Utilization

To the point

Cmdr. David Fravor’s 2004 encounter is used to propose that an advanced nonhuman intelligence could study Earth by deploying autonomous, self-replicating ocean-based machines that harvest seawater for fuel and construction and form a distributed factory network, a concept echoed by John Storrs Hall’s artificial seaweed idea.
