Old Town Pond Overview The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Shinnecock Bay/Atlantic Ocean Watershed report, includes a fact sheet for Old Town Pond, an 8.5-acre pond which is assessed as an impaired waterbody. Recreational uses are considered to be impaired by frequent to persistent occurrences of harmful algal blooms. Aquatic life may also be impacted by resulting low dissolved oxygen in the pond. Nonpoint stormwater runoff, agricultural activity and residential onsite septic systems are suspected sources of pollutants. Old Town Pond was sampled in 2015 by SUNY Stony Brook as part of a harmful algae bloom collaborative with the DEC, Division of Water. Nonpoint stormwater runoff, agricultural activity and residential onsite septic systems are suspected sources of nutrients that are thought to be contributing to the algal blooms and could be resulting in low dissolved oxygen in the pond.

  • Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters
    Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006 - 2007 Executive Summary This report was prepared in accordance with §369.22 (7), Florida Statutes, to provide an annual assessment of the control achieved and funding necessary to manage nonindigenous aquatic plants in intercounty waters. The authority of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as addressed in §369.20 (5), Florida Statutes, extends to the management of nuisance populations of all aquatic plants, both indigenous and nonindigenous, and in all waters accessible to the general public. The aquatic plant management program in Florida’s public waters involves complex operational and financial interactions between state, federal and local governments as well as private sector compa- nies. A summary of plant acres controlled in sovereignty public waters and associated expenditures contracted or monitored by the DEP during Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is presented in the tables on page 42 of this report. Florida’s aquatic plant management program mission is to reduce negative impacts from invasive nonindigenous plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and hydrilla to conserve the multiple uses and functions of public lakes and rivers. Invasive plants infest 95 percent of the 437 public waters inventoried in 2007 that comprise 1.25 million acres of fresh water where fishing alone is valued at more than $1.5 billion annually. Once established, eradicating invasive plants is difficult or impossible and very expensive; therefore, continuous maintenance is critical to sustaining navigation, flood control and recreation while conserving native plant habitat on sovereignty state lands at the lowest feasible cost.

To our knowledge, the present work is the first to scientifically document the in-situ establishment of an FWI in a seawater port marina. The establishment and performance of a cork floating platform with a polyculture (Sarcocornia perennis, Juncus maritimus, Phragmites australis, Halimione portulacoides, Spartina maritima, Limonium vulgare) was evaluated. The diversity of organisms present in the FWI was undertaken based on the macrofauna assessment, taking into consideration marine water characterization, with a focus on hydrocarbons. Microbial communities were assessed based on metabarcoding approach to study 16S rRNA gene from environmental DNA retrieved from biofilm (from the planting media), marine biofouling (from the submerged platform) and surface marina water.

  • Response of Fish Populations to Floating Streambed Wetlands
    Fish and Floating Streambed Wetlands . Neal and Lloyd Response of Fish Populations to Floating Streambed Wetlands J. Wesley Neal, Mississippi State University, Box 9690, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mississippi State, MS 39762 M. Clint Lloyd 1, Mississippi State University, Box 9690, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mississippi State, MS 39762 Abstract: A new tool to provide wetland services is the floating streambed wetland (FSW), an active hydroponic system consisting of a polymer matrix floating substrate in which living plants are established. Water is circulated from beneath the FSW and across a streambed on the upper FSW surface, coming into contact with biofilms attached to the polymer matrix and associated root structures. Research has shown that FSW technology is efficient in removing nutrients and water contaminants, and recent manufacturer reports claim that FSW technology may also increase total fish biomass in small water bodies. We evaluated this claim using a replicated small (526 m 2) pond experiment and FSWs that covered 2.3% of pond surface area. FSWs were installed and planted in August 2013, and ponds were stocked at equal densities with bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) in October 2013 and large- mouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in August 2014; populations were allowed to develop naturally prior to harvest in April 2016. Total fish biomass at time of harvest was 19.9% greater in ponds with FSWs than in control ponds. No differences in growth rates were observed for either species. This exploratory study suggested that FSWs can increase fish production in ponds, but further study is warranted. The high cost of FSWs would likely limit their use for strictly fisheries management purposes.

  • Floating Wetlands for Urban Stormwater Treatment Chih-Yu
    Floating wetlands for urban stormwater treatment Chih-Yu Wang Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Systems Engineering David J. Sample, Chair Susan D. Day Daniel L. Gallagher Thomas J. Grizzard Theresa M. Thompson October 29, 2013 Virginia Beach, VA Keywords: Retention ponds, Nutrient control, Performance assessment, Nutrient harvest, Sustainability. Copyright © 2013 by Chih-Yu Wang Floating wetlands for urban stormwater treatment Chih-Yu Wang ABSTRACT A floating treatment wetland (FTW) is an ecological approach which seeks to reduce point and nonpoint source pollution by installing substrate rooted plants grown on floating mats in open waters. While relatively novel, FTW use is increasing. A review of literature identified several research gaps, including: (1) assessments of the treatment performance of FTWs; (2) evaluations of FTWs in the U.S., particularly within wet ponds that receive urban runoff; and (3) plant temporal nutrient distribution, plant growth rate, and the long-term persistence of the FTWs in temperate regions with periodic ice encasement. An assessment model, i-FTW model, was developed, and its parameter s fitted based on data from 14 published FTW studies in the first research topic. The estimated median FTW apparent uptake velocity with 95% confidence interval were 0.048 (0.018 – 0.059) and 0.027 (0.016 – 0.040) m/day for total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN), respectively. The i- FTW model provided a more accurate prediction in nutrient removal than two common performance metrics: removal rate (mg/m2/day) and removal efficiency (%).

  • Uros Hand Made Reed Floating Islands
    Uros hand made reed floating islands A proved ancient technique Today a closed cycle in practice to learn from Tomorrow an innovative development Rocío Torres Méndez Because of global warming, rising sea levels and the running out of fossil fuels, it is important to look for sustainable adaptable solutions. Therefore special attention should be given to the potential of floating reeds in construction. This paper is about a closed cycle example in practice, to learn from. It tells the history of a millenary South American civilization named Uros. It gives an overview of sustainable daily practices of the Uros - who live on floating organic hand made islands on the cold waters of Lake Titicaca at 3810 m above sea level in Puno, Peru - and their potential for future innovative developments. The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of researching the Totora plant’s floating properties, which will give us insights into its possible diverse applications as a floating material of construction. This study bridges science with traditional knowledge, an inspiring lesson for developing innovative ideas. 1 Location: Puno- Peru Figure 1 : Islands located at five kilometers east from Puno port at 3810m above sea level Source: Google earth The Totora plant This paper is about the Totora plant that grows in Titicaca Lake.

  • Stormwater Floating Islands (SFI) and Thus Helping to Reduce the Nutri- Ents and Pollutants Before the Outfall
    STORMWATER FLOATING ISLANDS Case study INNOHULE LAHTI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Master in Engineering Urban Sustainability Autumn 2018 Waseem Sukkari Abstract Author(s) Type of publication Published Sukkari, Waseem Master’s thesis Autumn 2018 Number of pages Appendices 66 pages 16 pages Title of publication Stormwater Floating Island Case Study INNOHULE Name of Degree Master in Engineering Abstract Stormwater management faces many problems and challenges. One of these challenges is the nutrients and pollutants that accumulate in the stormwater and are discharged into the water bodies like rivers and lakes, which negative- ly affect the environment, water quality, and ecosystem of the water bodies. This thesis discusses the importance of enhancing the work of wetlands by adding Stormwater Floating Islands (SFI) and thus helping to reduce the nutri- ents and pollutants before the outfall. An experiment project INNOHULE has been carried out to obtain preliminary results regarding nutrients removal and data on native plants that have the ability to adapt to the new submerged condition and the ability to survive the extreme low temperature winter. Also, water tests were conducted to ascertain the efficiency of the SFI concept 3− − for the following nutrients: Phosphate PO₄ , Nitrate NO₃⁻, Nitrite NO2 , and Ammonium/Ammonia NH₄⁺ / NH₃. Finally, the concept of SFI found that it can be applied in Finland, as well as a good variety of native plants that can tolerate the new submerged condition in a SFI. The concept of SFI can help mitigate nutrients and pollutants from stormwater wetlands. During the INNOHULE project; recycled materials were used to build the SFIs, and many designs succeed to achieve the purpose role.
