Lesson 5 Connection Points

Back to: Gear Prep

Anchor System Overview

In this lesson, we’ll cover the specific connections between different parts of your array system and our recommendations for which knots or hardware to use for each one. 

Watch this anchor system overview video to understand how all your different gear components connect, from the seafloor up to your growlines.

GreenWave Tip

It should be noted that there are many ways to connect different elements of your arrays. The suggestions in this lesson are not necessarily the gold standard, but rather solutions we have found that work on the GreenWave farm. You might find that other configurations work better for your setup. The important thing is to monitor connection points for chafing and wear while your gear is in the water.
