KATC TV was out with us on a recent installation of Natrx ExoForms™ to help build back a healthy and vibrant food chain at a popular, South Louisiana fishing location. Our ExoForms are at the center of this habitat restoration project. ExoForms provide a stable and naturalistic surface for base marine organisms to attach to and make home, helping restore the lost food chain from the bottom up. Healthy natural systems are resilient systems that provide a whole list of ecological benefits including cleaner water, increased biodiversity, and increased storm resilience.
