Spider Island - Egypt
A central Aquatic ecosystem growth unit for building a new robust ecosystem. Through the purification of the stagnant lake water with shaded moving parts, covered with Halophytes, and polycultures to rebuild a robust aquatic ecosystem and boost fish production.
-
Reducing and stabilizing water temperatures, by creating shade with plants;
-
Increase oxygen levels due to lower water temperature and increased primary carbon production;
-
Reducing salinity and nutrients levels and building fertile soils from lake sediments by ecological growth, of halophytes and salt-tolerant crops;
-
Reduction of heavy metal pollution out of the soils by biomass growth
-
Building a robust and biodiverse aquatic ecosystem. With a full kickstart of the food web to increase and stabilize sustainable fish production.
