A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE USE OF THE SEA PLANE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Paraglider and Sea Volcano Interactions
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Sea Plane and its uses are confusing to many players.  First of all, if you do not have ANY of the Buildings in the Sea Resort that allow passengers to operate there, sending passengers to the Sea Resort HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER.  Thus, you need to purchase the Paraglider and/or Sea Volcano.

Total Number of Passengers in Sea Plane
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Second, the number of Passengers you load into the Plane should be based on the number of slots available in the buildings you have purchased and upgraded in the Sea Resort.  In other words, if you only have the basic Paraglider with one slot, you only can use one Passenger.  If you have all three slots unlocked, you can use THREE guests.  If you have the Sea Volcano, the same holds true. The maximum number of Passengers that can be used AT ANY GIVEN TIME if you have not reached Level 8 expansion of the Sea Resort but if you have all upgrades to Paraglider and Sea Volcano is SIX.

Using Passengers in Sea Resort
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Now, with the new added 1st Class Seats, you can load a total of 12 passengers into your Sea Plane if you have upgraded it fully.  The problem here is that, if you have not reached Level 8 expansion, you only can use a maximum of 6 at any given time.  ALL THE SEA RESORT BUILDINGS FOR PASSENGER INTERACTION ARE ON TIMERS.  The timer expires after 3 hours.

1st Class Seats v. Economy Seats
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The difference between the 1st Class Seats in the Sea Plane and the Economy Seats is timing only.  Both types of Passengers perform the very same actions in the Sea Resort buildings.

For 1st Class Seats, you can make an instant appeal in Chat to have any Neighbour agree to fill the seat.  For the Economy Seats, it is all timers.  You have to wait for the timer for any Economy Seat to expire before the Seat will be filled.  The advantage therefore of having 3 First Class Seats would be that you could send off the Sea Plane with 3 Passengers instantly to fully occupy either the Paraglider or the Sea Volcano.

Collectable House
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Collectable House can be found in the Building section of the Market for 1000 Coins and placed either on your farm or in the Building Area.  Items stored there can be harvested much as you harvest from the Tree Nursery now.

Note that you can store only the permanent Collectables and not the 'temporary' ones that, when purchased for Coins in the Market, last only 3 days.  Another 'temporary' Collectable that cannot be stored is the Farm Birthday gift.

The Sea Plane now is interactive and there are three buildings in the Sea Resort that use the 'guests' whom you load as passengers into the Sea Plane.  Note please that EVERYTHING is on timers... so it is all very fussy in terms of obtaining maximum use from the guests and the buildings.  Until you reach Level 8 in the Sea Resort, you only can purchase two of the new buildings in the form of the Paraglider and the Sea Volcano.  The usefulness of these very much depends on the number of upgrades you have made to the buildings.  All upgrade requirements are given below.  Furthermore, the usefulness is linked to the number of guests you have flown to the Resort at any given time in your Sea Plane.

BE AWARE THAT WITH TWO SEA RESORT BUILDINGS FULLY UPGRADED, YOU ONLY CAN USE A MAXIMUM OF SIX GUESTS AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

In other words, in my opinion, upgrading the Sea Plane to seat a total of 6 guests should be sufficient.
Below, I give detailed instructions how to use the Sea Plane with the new Paraglider and Sea Volcano.

The Fishing College is part of the Sea Resort and is an advanced option, unlocked only when you have achieved the 8th plot expansion.  Once unlocked, you can use a net to catch fish in the Fishery.

The Fishing Pier will be transformed into the Fishery where you can use either a fishing rod or a net.  It can be entered either from the original pier area or from the Fishing College.

There is a limit to the number of fish that can be harvested daily now.  New 'season' will begin at 0 Hours U.T.C. or Greenwich Mean Time as it once was called.

The Fishing Net unlocks according to the Fishing Rods you own.  Better Fishing Rods will increase the number of harvests and the time needed to make any harvest.  As always, the type of fish you catch is linked to the type of Hook or Float you currently have equipped.  The Net Float is unlocked automatically.

You will find the two new untimed Quest sequences, Chocolate Frenzy and Ice Cream Stand Quests below.  Please be advised that you will need to have earned advanced recipes in the Coffee House to complete these quests.

The Sea Plane and new Sea Resort buildings require a number of items that are made in advanced Upgraders for the upgrades.  This recent update of the game is fairly advanced for the most part.  Do not be discouraged if you cannot complete the Quests or even reach the 8th Expansion of the Sea Resort!  There is NO TIME LIMIT FOR ANY OF THIS!!!!

Invite Rewards
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is one new option in the Farm Menu which is 'Invite Rewards'.  For those of us who have the maximum number of neighbours, it is not applicable but if you are a new farmer, you receive Rewards for every Neighbour you invite to the game.

Fishery Skills
xxxxxxxxxxx

There are three different types of Fishery Skills:

Nutritional Feed
Attractive Bait
Alluring Net

Fishing Pier
xxxxxxxxxx

If you have the 8th expansion in the Sea Resort, the Fishing Pier becomes the Fishery.  Even if you do not have it, however, there is a new Hook in the form of the Dolphin Hook.  It requires 125 Bait per try and a Boost costs 300 Bait.  With this Hook, you can catch the following:

Saury
Codfish
Tuna
Surf Clam
Abalone
Giant Tiger Prawn
Snow Crab
Broken Canvas

With the new Fish that you can catch with the Dolphin Hook come new Recipes in the Kitchen as follows:

Fried Cod with Mashed Potato
  Requires 1 Codfish and 2 Catlicious Mash

Heart Shaped Codfish Cake
  Requires 1 Fried Cod with Mashed Potatoes and 2 Egg Roll

Seafood House Additions
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you look at the new Recipes listed above, you will see that some of the ingredients have been processed in the Seafood House.  The new items from Seafood House are:

Abalone
  Yields Abalone Shell when processed; as an ingredient, used unprocessed

Giant Tiger Prawn
  Yields Steamed Tiger Prawn

Snow Crab
  Yields Steamed Snow Crab and Crab Paste

Note that you can smoke some of the new Fish in your Smoke House as well.  I imagine that the Abalone Shell will be added to a new item eventually made in the Beauty Shop

Sea Plane
xxxxxxxxx

Your Sea Plane now is interactive.  You can invite Guests to the Sea Resort and upgrade the plane to be able to accommodate more guests.  Essentially, you use these Guests in the various new Buildings such as the Sea Volcano and the Paraglider.  The Sea Volcano gives extra Power and the Paraglider gives a bonus to every Order in the Ocean Cafe.  If your Paraglider is fully upgraded with three slots and is occupied by three guests, you can obtain 100% bonus on all Ocean Cafe orders.

N.B.  Make certain that each time you send your Sea Plane to the Sea Resort, you manually ADD the Guests to each of the Buildings there for the various boosts.

Here is how it works:  first, load your Sea Plane with as many guests as possible.  If you have not reached Level 8 in the Sea Resort, you can use a MAXIMUM of 6 guests at any point in time.  In other words, if you have upgraded your Sea Plane to the 6 Economy Seats, do not worry about adding another 1st Class Seat.  Simply send it off to the Sea Resort.

Buy the Paraglider.  It has a coin cost.  The Sea Volcano gives a MAXIMUM of 6 Power and that only if fully upgraded.  It costs 16 RC.  I do not find it that useful frankly but as I have fully upgraded the Sea Plane, at least I am able to use 6 guests....

Try to upgrade the Paraglider fully and if you do have the Sea Volcano, upgrade that fully.  Fully upgraded Buildings in the Sea Resort allow you to add 3 Guests to each.  Make certain you add them all at the same time to achieve maximum benefit.  When the Paraglider is fully loaded with guests, you receive 100% boost on Ocean Cafe Orders.  What this means is that you should try to have your Ocean Cafe fully loaded with items if you wish to achieve maximum boost.

As far as the Sea Volcano is concerned, you need to collect the Power manually from the top left of the Menu or new Guests will not generate any more Power.  It, like the Paraglider is on a timer. Collect and refill with Guests whenever possible.
