Beemats Floating Wetlands

#TBT - looking back to 2021 when #Beemats floating treatment #wetlands were installed at #FortPond, #Montauk, #NewYork, to help reduce the extent & severity of #HABs. This collaborative project was made possible by 40 volunteers & a grant from the Town of East Hampton.

On this #WetlandWednesday, we are featuring a project from #CapeCoral, #Florida. ???? Beemats.com #Beemats #waterquality #phytoremediation #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #TMDL #BMPs #NPDES #wetlands #environmentalengineering #environmentalscience

Newly planted #macrophytes (#aquaticplants) are just getting their start in this pond! They are cleaning #water that will eventually discharge to the #ChesapeakeBay. Beemats.com #macrophytemonday #phytoremediation #bioremediation #pollutionprevention #waterquality

These Beemats floating treatment #wetlands are at use in a #stormwater pond adjacent to a busy highway. Aquatic plants in the #Beemats are growing, absorbing & permanently removing harmful nutrients from the #pond. #stormwater #waterquality #fieldwork #fridaysinthefield #BMPs

#Nitrogen and #phosphorus are essential for plant growth, but when excess #fertilizers wash into waterways, they fuel harmful #algaeblooms and #eutrophication. ???? This is where our Beemats Floating Treatment Wetlands can help! These innovative, plant-powered systems absorb excess nutrients BEFORE the #nutrientpollution wreaks havoc on aquatic ecosystems. ??? Protect #waterquality, reduce #pollution, and create thriving #habitats—all with the power of #Beemats floating #wetlands! ????

Floating treatment #wetlands remove nutrient #pollution from a waterbody, resulting in cleaner #water and healthy #habitats. This study from a student at FIU was supported by USDA and NIFA and examines #Beemats planted with marigolds. #FTW #waterquality #cleanwater #nitrogen #phosphorus #wetlandwednesday Florida International University USDA

?? Ever wonder how #plants can help clean up #pollution? #Phytoremediation is nature’s way of filtering contaminants from #water using #aquaticplants! ?? Their roots absorb excess nutrients, heavy metals, & toxins, improving #waterquality in an eco-friendly way without chemicals. Floating #wetlands, like #Beemats, harness this power by removing pollutants before they cause problems... like harmful #algalblooms & invasive plant overgrowth. Call us today, & we can design a treatment system for your waterway! #cleanwater #sustainability #environmentalengineering #stormwater #watermanagement #HABs #pond #ponds

We love seeing #wildlife using our #Beemats for rest & foraging! ???? Ever had a bad hair day? This bird has... Fluffed-up, windswept, and slightly dramatic— ?? but at least it’s got a Beemat below, keeping the #water clean & free of excess nutrients. Healthy water, happy birds—bad hair/feathers still optional. #environmentalengineering #wetland #wetlands #birds #cleanwater #waterquality #BMPs #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #Beemats

?? Invasive #aquaticplants often start with nutrient pollution – and we can help! ?? It’s #NationalInvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek, and while we are concerned about the spread of aquatic #invasiveplants, we should also look at what’s fueling their takeover: in many cases, it's nutrient #pollution. Excess #nitrogen and #phosphorus from runoff create the perfect conditions for invasive vegetation to thrive, choking out #nativeplants and harming ecosystems. Enter #Beemats... ???? Our patented floating treatment #wetlands remove excess nutrients before invasive plants can establish and take hold, helping to restore balance and health to our waterways. In addition, native aquatic plants in our Beemats compete against invasive plants and help to suppress their growth.

Our floating mat system maximizes macrophytes' natural ability to absorb nutrient pollution from #water. By expanding root zones, we boost nitrification, cycling #nitrogen to the atmosphere & increasing phosphorus uptake. More roots = cleaner water! #Beemats #waterquality #phytoremediation #environmentalengineering #wetlands #pollutionprevention #fridaysinthefield #fieldwork
