Engineered Floating Wetland

Nature-based solutions have proven to be able to successfully tackle eutrophication problems, resulting in increased marine biodiversity, cleaner water as well as reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and use of harvested biomass as valuable materials. The objective of this project is to finalize the development and perform on-site tests of a novel floating wetland system in the Utö, Stockholm archipelago to capture excess nutrients in the Baltic Sea water. In the long term, the overall goal is to provide a successful model for future implementations for eutrophic marine areas as well as freshwater systems around the Nordic region.
