How beneficial is the WhisprWave® to marine ecosystems?
The WhisprWave® is an environmentally friendly device because it is a erosion control floating breakwater technology. Marine ecosystems require fresh water with low levels of toxic pollutants. Since the WhisprWave® is a floating breakwater marine erosion protection system, it keeps pollutant levels low by allowing water to circulate. EPA Marina Management Practices require marinas to be designed to allow for maximum flushing of the water supply for the site. Adequate flushing reduces the potential for the stagnation of water in a marina and helps to maintain the biological productivity and reduce the potential for toxic accumulation in bottom sediment. (EPA Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Program) The WhisprWave® is also a very stable marine system that does not leak toxins or break apart leaving rubbish in the water. In addition to not polluting waterways, the WhisprWave® also benefits marine ecosystems by acting as an artificial reef, providing a safe habitat for fish, water foul, and sea
