Wetland restoration is an essential task to protect, improve and increase our natural wetlands. Wetlands that have been filled and drained retain their characteristic soil and hydrology, allowing their natural functions to be reclaimed. Restoration is a complex process that requires lengthy planning, careful implementation, proper monitoring, and total management. It involves renewing natural and historical wetlands that have been lost, or degraded, and reclaiming their functions and values as vital ecosystems. Restoring our lost and degraded wetlands to their natural state is essential to ensure the health of earth’swatershed.
E-Coir Green Log is made from machine-spun coir twine stuffed under pressure with mattress grade coir fiber to specified density. High density E-Coir Green Log has excellent structural stability and it also resists the force of the water flow while establishing natural vegetation. These logs can be used in low gradient areas in stream, lake, shoreline protection and slope stabilizations. It helps to dissipate the impact of flowing water and stop sediment. E-Coir Green Log fosters plant growth among the coir fiber and eventually decays, while becoming a natural part of the bio-engineered site over 5 or more years. It also provides aesthetic value to the surrounding environment.
The root system created by the vegetation within the riparian buffer prevents future erosion in the wetland areas due to high water flows.
E-Coir Green Logs can be supplied as a circular coir log or square log. In addition, our E-Coir Green Logs are available in planting holes and impregnated with coconut shell activated carbon.

E-Coir Wattles are made from coir mat liner and inside the tubes are filled with baby coir fibers and mattress coir fibers. Coir fiber is uniformly packed into a high strength coir twine netting to hold the coir mat liner.
E-Coir Wattle effectively traps sediment and improves water quality. The wattles filter overland waterflow, trapping and holding sediment on the bank that would otherwise end up in the water or in the dry areas below. E-Coir Wattles are the best alternative to temporary sediment control products such as straw wattles or hay bales.
E-Coir Wattles work well, when sitting directly in water and out of water, on slopes and can hold the site stable for 4-6 years. This gives sprouting seeds ample time to develop an intricate root system that will continue the task of stabilization after the wattles have decomposed. The lightly packed coir fiber allows cleaner water to pass through the E-Coir Wattle leaving sediment behind.

E-Coir Green Fibermat is a uniformly needle-punched coir matrix bonded with or without a natural latex binder. It is a 100% natural and biodegradable product with life span of 2-3 years. It can be used for rapid re-vegetation of disturbed wetland sites or prairies and helps to recover and restore marshlands.
Eco Green Fibermat has high moisture retention and sediment trapping capabilities. After seeding the E-Coir Green Fibermat and within a two to six weeks period, vegetated and fully rooted green fiber mats are ready to install.
E-Coir Green Fibermat also can be used a soil less medium to grow vegetation in roofs and straight walls. Living roofs and green roofs with E-Coir Green Fibermat provides insulation, reduces water runoff, reducesnoise, and integrates living vegetation with an inanimate structure.
