The document discusses using modular ecosystem infrastructure in engineered water environments. It can be used to improve habitat and biodiversity by creating nesting islands for birds or fish habitats. It also improves amenity and aesthetics by allowing for waterscaping and eco-marinas. Finally, it helps with water quality by enhancing streams and reservoirs, and helping with stormwater management and wastewater treatment compliance.
