Caravela - a NbS to fight water pollution

Infinito Mare

Caravela is a nature-based floating technology that purifies and regenerates water every day. It is a floating sculpture that merges science and poetry with a design that enhances native algae growth, removing invisible pollutants such as nutrients, metals, and fuels, while generating biomass for circular applications. Built with recyclable materials and powered by solar energy, each Caravela purifies and inspires, transforming design into an act of restoration and hope.
