Gulf Saver Bags™
Bag production in greenhouse
Background
The Gulf Saver Bag is an RPM environmental restoration bag that has been specifically adapted for Gulf Coast ecosystems.
RPM environmental bags were developed by Wayne Lovelace in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers and used the first time to stabilize the banks and "jump start" the re-vegetation on the Mississippi River following the major "100 year" flood event in 1993.
Adaptations of RPM environmental bags for specific ecosystems restoration have used since 1993 all along the Mississippi River and in the Mississippi Delta.
This is the first application in shoreline wetlands, marshes, coastal beaches and barrier islands.
Gulf Saver restoration projects are in partnership with The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.
Inside the Gulf Saver Bag
Windrows of RootZone Humus. RootZone Humus is an all natural bioremediation concentrate alive with beneficial micro organisms. These microbes digest hydrocarbon contamination in the water and soil and provide nutrients for root growth to support, feed and protect marsh plants.
Beneficial microorganisms, including beneficial bacteria and fungi are present, stimulating microbial life, including those microorganisms that are oleophilic (like to eat/decompose OIL). Ecosystem specific all natural amendments (worm casings, rock powders, coir etc) are added to address specific plant types being supported and/or to balance against certain harsh conditions where restoration is being done.
