Eco-Friendly Technology for Canals and Marinas
Aquatic bubble curtains are designed for both freshwater lakes and marine environments. They provide a simple, effective, inexpensive and environmentally safe solution to floating debris. Wind and water currents drive floating weeds, sea grasses and trash into canals and marinas where they become trapped and decompose releasing nutrients and foul odors. The dead plant material causes dissolved oxygen levels to drop stressing fish and wildlife and decreasing water clarity. Once attractive marinas and canals become an eyesore, fisheries and recreational activities decline, hydrogen sulfide odors persist, bottom muck accumulates and real estate values drop.
AirStations or AirGate Adjustable Emitters are placed along the channel bottom with air supplied by compressors to create bubble curtains. These bubble curtains create a barrier to push back weeds and debris preventing them from entering the protected area while allowing boats and wildlife to easily and safely pass through the bubble curtain.
