Island sizes range from small decorative units to larger than football fields, and can be made in any shape or buoyancy. Islands have withstood numerous freeze/thaw cycles, as well as typhoons, tornadoes, hurricanes and major snowfalls.
Primary uses for FTWs include water quality improvement for stormwater, lake water and wastewater; fishery enhancement; and creation of wildlife habitats.
