Bridgewater Basin Floating Ecosystems

What’s happening in the Basin?
Working in partnership Manchester City Council and Clean City Fund along with Cityco, Bridgewater Hall, Petersfield Group and the Canal and River Trust, internationally renowned Aquatic scientists Biomatrix are creating a network of floating active ecosystems to help improve the biodiversity and water quality of the Basin.

Why do it?
We want to increase the quality and functionality of both our green spaces (parks, gardens etc.) and our blue spaces (rivers, canals and water bodies). At the moment the basin lacks a little interest, and this project aims to breathe new life into the water body, improving the aesthetic, creating a haven for wildlife.
