Floating wetlands facilitate microbiological and plant processing of nutrients and encourage the settling of sediments contained in the water.
Floating wetlands come in all shapes and sizes and can be built for existing water bodies, waterways or in a purpose-built pond.
Their benefits include improving the quality of the water, particularly for aquaculture farming, and providing habitat and refuge for wildlife. They can also be very attractive.
