Natural habitats are complex and diverse ecosystems that must maintain a delicate balance. Any negative impacts can destroy critical aquatic environments, wildlife, and green habitats that could take generations to replace. Midwest Floating Island helps cities, communities, commercial organizations, and corporations looking for ways to bring in more diverse native habitat.
What Is Habitat Restoration?
Habitat restoration is “the purposeful rehabilitation of an area to recreate a functioning ecosystem.” Successful habitat restoration requires understanding and rehabilitating the area’s species and how they interact with water, nutrients, food, available space, shelter, and other elements critical to sustaining these populations.
Our man-made islands provide valuable wetland habitat by turning a pond next to a building or parking lot into a refuge for fish and macroinvertebrates among the roots, food for birds and larval insects, and a place for turtles and frogs.
How Can BioHaven® Floating Treatment Technology Help?
BioHaven® Floating Islands are an innovative solution designed to harness the power of nature through the collaboration of microbes and plants. These artificial wetlands serve as a sustainable ecosystem, enhancing water quality and providing a varied habitat for pollinators, wildlife, and fish. The islands are adorned with various plants whose roots extend beneath the surface.
Additionally, these wetlands can be secured in place, making them adaptable to fluctuating water levels. Thus, they serve as an ideal solution for stormwater ponds, wetlands, and other bodies of water affected by rainfall.
In cases where habitats cannot be fully restored to their original state, floating water mats can be used to create wildlife corridors that connect open spaces and habitats. These corridors serve as vital pathways that enable species to thrive in and around human-occupied areas.
Nesting Islands
Our bio-friendly floating islands provide a safe and secluded habitat for ducks, swans, and loons to build their nests, protecting them from land predators and providing a secure environment for nesting. Place them in new or restored waterways to improve the local wildfowl populations.
