# 2025 Intelligent Aquatic Shield |
|
An intelligent aquatic shield that uses nanostructured silica-hydrogel carriers to restore water quality across freshwater, coastal and aquaculture settings. The hydrogel matrix self-adapts to local chemistry, binding pollutants, moderating nutrients, and supporting beneficial microbes while remaining stable for long periods. Delivered as part of an integrated service that includes site assessment, custom formulation, and monitored deployment, it reduces contamination and improves ecosystem health. Designed for rollout, the approach makes scalable conservation feasible for lakes, reservoirs, rivers and nearshore waters
