What is eutrophication?

Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water with nutrients caused by human activities and climate change.

Social impacts

This phenomenon promotes the proliferation of algae and cyanobacteria, which pose risks to human and animal health and weaken biodiversity.

Economic impacts

Eutrophication affects 48% of lakes in North America. Properties located near affected water bodies can lose up to 22% of their value. In the United States alone, losses related to declining property value and recreational use are estimated at 2.2 billion USD per year.

And in Quebec?

200+ eutrophied lakes

Impact

Of the 800 lakes monitored by the RVSL, 25% are considered to be in a concerning state (Ministry of Environment and Climate Change).

A declining quality of life
for many communities

Consequences

Residents face environmental and health nuisances caused by algae. Property values decrease, and water activities become impractical or even dangerous.

A serious issue
for the economy and environment

Challenges

Remediation costs are significant and can range from 300,000 to 1 billion dollars depending on the method used.

Our solution

We restore lakes using phytoremediation and mycoremediation. Our floating islands, made of native plants and mycelium, naturally filter nutrients, capture heavy metals, and recreate a balanced ecosystem. A sustainable, aesthetic, and entirely natural approach to bringing aquatic environments back to life.

How does it work?

1. Ideation and permit application

We design the floating island project with you and assist with administrative procedures.

2. Installation and purification phase

Our teams install the platforms on the water body. Native plants and organisms gradually absorb nutrients and pollutants.

3. Maintenance

We provide monitoring and maintenance to ensure long‑term efficiency.

4. Treatment and recovery

Mature plants are removed and processed: heavy metals extracted, biomass recovered or disposed of according to standards.

Our services

We design and build custom floating solutions to restore water quality, increase biodiversity, and create attractive ecological spaces.

Custom floating island design

We develop islands tailored to the needs of each aquatic environment: plant selection, dimensions, ecological objectives, and site constraints. Each island is optimized to maximize nutrient absorption and fight eutrophication.

Ecopark layouts & integrated furniture

We create complete eco‑parks including outdoor furniture, platforms, walkways, and observation areas. These installations transform a water body into an educational, recreational, and ecological space.

BioFlow columns for advanced filtration

For sites requiring increased filtration capacity, we integrate BioFlow columns beneath the islands. They increase absorption surface area, improve denitrification, and accelerate nutrient reduction.

Turnkey service

We offer full support: site analysis, design, manufacturing, installation, and performance monitoring. Each project is adjusted based on real‑world results.

Our Values

Ecological Impact

Our islands filter excess nutrients, reduce unwanted algae, and improve water quality through a natural and autonomous process, minimizing environmental disturbance on the water body.

Innovative Technology

A unique combination of native plants and mycelium, offering phyto‑ and mycoremediation properties to restore the ecological balance of lakes.

Responsible Local Engagement

Durable materials, circular economy principles, and responsible management of contaminated vegetation: we ensure a solution that respects both the environment and local communities.
