Turning Plants into Pollution Fighters
Our Phytoflora venture cleans water by growing flowers & plants on floating platforms. We strive to heal our watersheds through this regenerative cultivation.
Atlan Stormwater Floating Wetland Units
1. When it rains, fertilizer and yard waste wash into the water, adding too many nutrients and feeding algae and invasive plants like hydrilla.
2. Too many nutrients cause algae to grow out of control, blocking sunlight and using up oxygen, which can harm fish and other aquatic life.
3. Plants on floating wetlands help clean the water by absorbing excess nutrients, slowing the growth of algae and hydrilla.
4. Regularly harvesting plants and replanting new ones helps remove pollution from the water and supports a healthier environment for fish and wildlife.
What are Productive Floating Wetlands (PFWs) and How Do They Work?
-
You may have seen a garden floating on the water and asked—”what is that?” It’s called a productive floating wetland!
-
These floating gardens soak up excess nutrients from the water—like those from fertilizer runoff—before they can harm the ecosystem. They also grow useful plants, such as bouquet flowers and shoreline restoration plants.
