BORDENTOWN, N.J., Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TIGRIS Aquatic Services, LLC., the premier provider of stormwater management services in the United States, announced today its merger with Aquagenix, a Florida-based leader in lake and pond management and stormwater services.  This strategic combination marks TIGRIS' largest acquisition to date and significantly expands its reach and capabilities across Florida and beyond.

This is a game-changer for our ability to deliver innovative, science-driven waterway solutions nationwide."

"Joining TIGRIS opens up incredible opportunities for Aquagenix and our clients," said Aaron Powery, General Manager of Aquagenix. "With TIGRIS' extensive service offerings, we now have access to new capabilities such as mechanical harvesting and hydro-raking, wetland management, and large-scale restoration projects. Additionally, being part of a company solely dedicated to aquatic services—with the financial strength to invest in our people, equipment, and innovation—ensures we can accelerate growth and provide even greater value to the communities we serve."
