Abstract
A low-cost aquatic structure optimized for water quality enhancement and wave mitigation. The structure is preferably comprised predominantly of recycled polymer scrap or other low-cost, high-surface-area materials, such as jute. The structure may be either buoyant or non-buoyant. Buoyant embodiments of the structure are preferably tip resistant. All embodiments are preferably wave damping. The structure is preferably porous and permeable, and has a large internal surface area for colonization by nutrient-removing microbes. The structure may alternately be used to add nutrients to a water body to promote fish growth for aquaculture applications.
