Well they should look at their own sea gypsies - bajau people, how they live and lived in the past. Its wonderful to experience them and also read upon their history - in the past they had literal floating villages, migrating with seasonal currents, in complete tune with their environment.

In 50s IIRC forming government forced them to have stationary location/address, so they stubbornly agreed but still have all houses rising from the ocean on pillars, just anchored to some rocky cliff.

I love visiting that country, so vast, so diverse, so exotic to common western reality.
