Mara-Mediterra brings Spotlight on Aquaponic Wetlands – Part 1

Date

This video clip unveils the aquaponics wetlands facility installed by the Egyptian Chinese University (ECU) in the Mara-Mediterra partnership. The novel system simulates the provisioning and regulatory services of wetland ecosystems for growing plants on floating rafts and for nature-based water quality improvement in a closed loop system. The pilot unit consists of fish tanks, a mechanical and biological filtration system, floating rafts and growing beds, water pump, plants and a harvesting system. Such NbSs of eco-engineering that rely on ecosystem services, are able to address food security and food safety challenges, while contributing to efficient water use and pollution control.
