In continuation of its commitment to caring for the environment, Marina Ibiza has become the first marina in Spain to install a Bio-Box device. The system, created by La Alernativa Eco, deploys natural bacteria into the water, which in turn works to digest and hydrocarbons present.
In event of spillage or in the case of contaminated waters often brought about by the Levant wind, the microscopic Bio-Box bacteria help return the water’s purity and transparency.
The system comprises a hose that runs from the Bio-Box container on the shore, along the pontoon into the sea. The bacteria is dripped into the water at a certain frequency while an air pump siphons oxygen into the water to activate the bacteria and begin the process.
