A system, method and computer program product for monitoring and improving water quality to mitigate harmful algal blooms using smart rafts, including a raft made from a mycomaterial; one or more tube-shaped pods formed in the raft and configured to hold seed or media and configured with a root channel at the bottom of the pods extending through a bottom of the raft; and a sensor holder formed in the raft and configured to hold a water quality sensor accessing a water channel extending through a bottom of the raft. Remedial plants are grown in the tube-shaped pods with roots of the remedial plants passing through the water channel into water underneath the raft.
