In Chicago, a Shedd Aquarium-backed team built floating gardens, and after years on the Chicago River, they've now spread to Bubbly Creek

In Chicago's Bubbly Creek, innovative floating wetlands are taking center stage in the fight against pollution. These modular systems not only soak up excess nutrients but also create vital habitats for aquatic creatures. Research highlights their effectiveness in enhancing water quality over time, and scientists are exploring their ability to tackle stubborn pollutants such as PFAS. Although they aren't a panacea, these initiatives symbolize significant progress in ecological restoration.
