Abstract
Stormwater discharges contribute substantially to a temporary increase in pollutant loads in coastal areas, which can lead e.g. to algal blooms and impact natural ecosystems. A novel approach of using Constructed Floating Wetlands (CFWs) in brackish water treats will be implemented to treat stormwater runoff from a new development stage comprised of sixty-four residential lots in Pelican Waters, Southeast Queensland (Australia). A preliminary pilot-study, completed in December 2016, determined what species would survive in the saline / brackish conditions.
