An underwater mooring system, for mooring a platform 7 underwater at variable depths within a body of water, comprises the platform, and a coupling 4 to couple the platform to one or more submerged anchor points 2 having a vertical position that is underwater but above a bed of the body of water. The platform extends out laterally from the one or more submerged anchor points, and the coupling permits vertical movement 6 of the platform relative to the one or more submerged anchor points to allow the platform to be positioned at different depths underwater. Coupled to the platform is at least one buoyancy chamber 5 having variable buoyancy to control a depth at which the platform is positioned. The platform may be a marine agriculture platform for growth of a marine agricultural product.
