The Marshmog
The Marsh mog is a multi-purpose aquatic ecosystem rehab machine designed and developed by a company called Clean Lakes, Inc. located in Martinez, Calif.. The Marshmog was first operated in 2007.
The Marsh Mog is best suited for aquatic weed control in wetland & marsh areas. Swamp often times cannot be accessed by water aquatic machinery such as the Aquamog, Cookie Cutter or Aquatic Weed Harvesters. As well land based equipment like backhoes, excavators and draglines cannot access most wetlands and marshes without building access roads which can damage these sensitive aquatic environments.
However, the marshmog has a ground pressure of 0.61 pounds per square inch. This is an amazingly low figure which is even lower than most people just with their footprint. This equates to the most efficient way of doing maintenance tasks in our sensitive aquatic ecosystems. The Marshmog can operate in wet soil types where humans cannot walk, and in water depths up to 2′two feet}.
The marshmog can be used for many aquatic weed removal projects. It can be equipped with numerous attachments that include mowers and grinders, as well as plows and discing attachments.
GPS Guided aquatic herbicide applications can be performed by the Marshmog too. In areas that were only previously accessible for this type of work the Marshmog excels at a much lower cost per acre. The Marshmog is fitted with a GPS mapping system that collects the info required to complete precision applications as well as mapping of the site for information purposes.
The Marshmog is the latest cutting edge aquatic maintenance tool developed and designed by the same company who in the early 1980s thought of and built the aqua mogs.
