An underwater planting machine comprising:
- a main body;
- a planting device which installs a planting member having algae or aquatic plants fixed thereto to dispose the algae or aquatic plants at a predetermined position on a water bottom;
- a traveling device which causes the main body and the planting device to travel;
- and
- a power source which drives the traveling device,
- wherein the planting device disposes the planting member at a predetermined position on the water bottom while being moved by the traveling device.
An underwater planting system comprising:
- an underwater planting machine which includes a main body, a planting device installing a planting member having algae or aquatic plants fixed thereto to dispose the algae or aquatic plants at a predetermined position on a water bottom, a traveling device causing the main body and the planting device to travel, and a power source driving the traveling device, the planting device being configured to dispose the planting member at a predetermined position on the water bottom while being moved by the traveling device;
