Framed as a speculative essay, the text introduces the ‘Siphonophorae Society’ as a metaphor for the interdependence of human communities and water across porous land–water boundaries. Inspired by the biology of siphonophore colonies, it proposes ‘hundred-eye seeing’ as a multiperspectival epistemology that integrates human, more-than-human, and amphibious futures. It reframes ocean citizenship as water citizenship, articulating a relational mode of belonging grounded in hydrosocial interdependence. Through the Venice Lagoon, it contrasts technocratic planning with amphibious living and imagines adaptive collective futures in the Hydrocene.

Abstract
Framed as a speculative essay, the text introduces the ‘Siphonophorae Society’ as a metaphor for the interdependence of human communities and water across porous land–water boundaries. Inspired by the biology of siphonophore colonies, it proposes ‘hundred-eye seeing’ as a multiperspectival epistemology that integrates human, more-than-human, and amphibious futures. It reframes ocean citizenship as water citizenship, articulating a relational mode of belonging grounded in hydrosocial interdependence. Through the Venice Lagoon, it contrasts technocratic planning with amphibious living and imagines adaptive collective futures in the Hydrocene.
