Bio-filtering islands
launched during Bioneers ConferenceAlex helped install floating island
Biofilters at the Marin County Civic Center lagoon:
The hands-on activity at the Bioneers Conference was the
culmination of what started out as a class
project for the Environmental Forum of Marin in 2014. Alex and his
Master Class 41 classmates Aurora Mahassine and Dan Monte together with over
100 volunteers planted and launched two floating islands in the Civic Center
lagoon.
Alex is extremely grateful for everyone who was part of the
team that made this project a reality, including:
Gallinas Watershed Council
Environmental Forum of Marin
Marin County Supervisor Damon Connolly & Aide Chris Callaway
Marin County Dept of Public Works (Liz Lewis and Laurie Williams)
Marin School of Environmental Leadership LEAD students (Elly, Sophie, Ben Cole, Evan, and Max)
MarinLink
Santa Venetia Neighborhood Association
It would not have been possible without financial and
in-kind support from:
The Watershed Nursery
Embassy Suites Hotel
Autodesk
Last but not least, a big thanks to all who contributed to
the fundraiser on Indiegogo:
