UK: Floating Wetlands Plan to Boost Coastal Ecosystems
A new project will "transform" degraded coastal environments through the installation of "pioneering" floating wetlands. 
Researchers say the approach offers a "practical, scalable solution" to the "widespread loss" of essential coastal ecosystems.🪸 They are designed to deliver multiple environmental benefits, including improving water quality by absorbing nutrients and pollutants.

The linked articles have a tantalizing lack of detail. I wonder how these things are built, what keeps them afloat, how the water quality improvements might be measured, where they will be located.

Agreed!
The UoP doesn't even provide those details. It's like they don't even know there's a Mastodon full of people who need the details.
