Due to the interior living quarters, the sargassum workers are able to be protected from harmful exposure to the environment and the sargassum itself. The water pump system collects sargassum in large quantities at once taking less time per batch on the ocean. Mobula is able to locate large patches using drone and satellite technology and travel long distances in the open ocean. With multiple Mobula vessels working at once, they can cover the Yucatan sargassum current before it reaches the shoreline.

Within the interior, the user is able to spend a few days and nights in the open ocean collecting sargassum to minimize the back and forth from the land. In addition to the control panels for both the vessel and the drone, the interior includes a tower bed that can accommodate two people per shift. A kitchen setup that allows the user to prepare their daily meals. A counter for eating or working turns into a sitting bench. Lastly, a small bathroom that has the essentials.

These major components are the equipment that the user will be interacting with the most. This includes the control panel, the chairs, and the tables. The male user percentile ranges from 5% to 99%. The measurements for each interior component were worked around these percentiles to accommodate a range of male users. The control panel has a wrap-around design to allow the user to use the controls on the front and the sides of the chair, this way all the controls are within comfortable reach and range of motion. The beds have an integrated headrest to accommodate a comfortable side sleeping position. Even though the bed shape is a triangle, there is enough space to accommodate a 99-percentile male.

In Mexico, sargassum is often referred to as "the golden tides," not only for its distinctive color but also because of the potential opportunities it offers. Sargassum is considered a promising source of bio-energy among other alternatives. Scientists believe that due to global warming and environmental pollution, the abundance of sargassum will become the new normal. Thus, investing in a plant that converts sargassum into biofuel will be a viable option. Providing eco-friendly energy to the local region will reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. A green energy initiative will also attract more tourists to the area.
