• Layers of recycled plastic matrix bonded
  together with adhesive foam
• Planted with sod, garden plants, or wetland
  plants
• Launched onto a water body
• Plants grow naturally with roots growing through
  matrix into the water
• Natural eco-system evolves over time

What Floating Islands do ?

• Remove pollutants (nutrients) from water
• Provide critical riparian edge, shelter general
  wildlife habitat
• Sequester carbon other greenhouse gases
• Erosion control wave mitigation
• Structural alternatives for docks, walkways,
  bridges more
• Beautify a waterscape

How Do Floating Islands Work?

• Microbes (bacteria) are the key to removing
  contaminants from water
• Microbes need a place to grow and surface area is
  the key
• Floating Islands matrix provides 200 times more
  surface area than an equivalent stretch of
  natural wetland

Floating Islands Provide a Concentrated Wetland
Effect

• Remove TSS below detection limits
• lt10 mg/L
• Reduce carbon by 9000 mg/(ft2day)
• Nitrify ammonia by 750 mg/(ft2day)
• Denitrify nitrate to nitrogen gas
• Reduce phosphorus by 429 mg/(ft2day)
• Montana Board of Research Results

  case with alternatives
• Islands do not obstruct nor detract from an
  aesthetically pleasing view

  rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, coastal
• Waste water treatment polishing
• Storm water treatment
• Erosion Control
• Animal Effluent lagoons
• Fish Farming Recreational Fishing
• Beautification, land and waterscaping

Fishery Applications

• Ammonia and Nitrite Reduction BioHavens remove
  these and other harmful pollutants including
  phosphates and heavy metals.
• Shading BioHavens provide beneficial shade which
  inhibits algae growth and cools the water for
  fish habitation.
• Fish spawning platforms BioHavens can be
  constructed on two levels, with the lower level
  suspended from the upper to maintain its position
  relative to the surface. Different surface
  substrates can be used to attract different
  fish.
• Fishing platforms Fish tend to congregate beneath
  floating islands.
