Dr. Jack Szczepanski, CBLP, Princeton Hydro Senior Aquatic Ecologist, was recently featured on the Native Plants, Healthy Planet Podcast, which is ranked as a Top 20 Nature Apple podcast with 7k+ listeners per month. Hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick interview some of the top minds in ecology, restoration, conservation, and native plants.
For the episode featuring Jack, the podcast explores floating wetland islands (FWIs).
FWIs are designed to mimic natural wetlands in a sustainable, efficient, and powerful way. They improve water quality by assimilating and removing excess nutrients that could fuel algae growth; provide valuable ecological habitat for a variety of beneficial species; help mitigate wave and wind erosion impacts; provide an aesthetic element; and add significant biodiversity enhancement within open freshwater environments. Installing FWIs is a low-cost, effective green infrastructure solution used to mitigate phosphorus and nitrogen stormwater pollution often emanating from highly developed communities and/or agricultural lands.
In the podcast, they discuss the benefits of FWIs, the science and design behind them, how to choose the appropriate native plants for them, and the different applications in which FWIs can be used. Jack also provides listeners with an overview of Princeton Hydro, our history, and the many ecological restoration services our team provides.
