I am a coastal and environmental engineer and am always looking for ways to improve the water quality, tranquility, and aesthetics of the harbors and marinas I design. This is another means of doing that.

This is fascinating! I look forward to seeing this project’s progress. I’d like to see the details on what you planted and why, what materials you used to “form” the island, etc. I hope this is wildly successful and coming soon to the Bay near me! (Sorry if those details are in the video; don’t readily have an option to watch video)

That is SO COOL! I love the idea of the man-made islands and am really looking forward to seeing how they can improve the water in the bay. My hope is that by the time my son is an adult (he’s almost 9 now) we’ll be able to see a huge difference in our bay’s water quality.

Wow what great progress in just a short time. I am looking forward to future updates to see how much the water quality increases over the two year trial period.
