Wetlands
Wetlands are very important as they act to purify water and are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems. Their importance is well known and efforts to rehabilitate or recreate wetlands throughout Australia are well underway. Gabions and Renos are ideal for wetlands as the spaces between the rocks quickly become filled with silt which encourages vegetation growth.
These spaces can also provide protective habitats for small aquatic creatures to live and lay their eggs etc. Unlike concrete, Gabions and Renos will not leach harmful chemicals into the water and will have a longer life span in the aquatic environment as they are specially designed to prevent corrosion.
