Floating Ecosystems provide a versatile solution to restore ecological function in degraded or heavily modified waterbodies.
The Biomatrix buoyant tough float structure is designed to make wetland creation and water restoration possible, even in locations with waves, changing water levels, hard edges and fast currents. The structural floating technology allows thriving wetland communities to be created in challenging and dynamic waterbodies.
A healthy waterway or water body is alive, with clean vital water that supports a diversity of aquatic life: microorganisms, plants, fish, turtles, otters etc.. The more diverse the ecology within the river, lake, pond or canal, the more resilient it can be to the inevitable inflows of pollution, be them from urban or agricultural runoff, sewage or industry. Biomatrix specialises in water restoration. Our Floating Ecosystems are engineered to improve water quality within rivers, lakes, ponds and canals as they increase aquatic life, leading to a balanced and revitalised waterscape.

Treat Pollution Where it Enters the Waterbody
For lakes, rivers or canals with heavy inflows of pollution or septic overflow during storms a section of the water body can be made into a lagoon to treat this water directly before it enters the rest of the waterway.
