Launching a 250 sq ft Floating Island. This BioHaven provides the same filtration surface area as an acre of constructed wetland!

In addition to cleansing the water, Floating Islands provide habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other native species above and below the water line. The islands and the plant roots growing through the islands, provide a breeding ground for beneficial microbes which remove greater percentages of contaminants than plants in typical wetland settings. The microbes flourish in water and populate more readily than they do in mud. The islands also have the ability to sequester heavy metals and trap other sediments that build up in problem ponds.

Islands can be used for cash crops, providing very low cost farming practices. Islands provide breeding habitats and become supermarkets for fish. They can be used in salt water, again as massive bio-filters, to naturalize and beautify coastlines while offering wave attenuation. Extremely buoyant, they can be tied together and anchored and provide habitat for humans as well as animals and plants.
