Changes in water levels and hard edges in reservoirs often result in the loss of natural shoreline plants.

The absence of natural vegetation often results in diminished habitat quality and water management, which can lead to increased algae growth and a decline in the ecological health of bird and fish habitats. Floating Islands offer a solution by creating a vibrant ecosystem that remains at the optimal level for supporting habitat and wetland treatment processes.

Advanced designs of Floating Islands can further enhance their effectiveness by incorporating floating solar systems for improved aeration and circulation, as well as active phosphorous binding materials that substantially increase treatment efficiency. Additionally, Floating Islands serve as important habitat “stepping stones,” facilitating connections within ecological corridors and providing safe havens for wildlife from shoreline predators such as cats and dogs.
