Abstract

A simple barrier of the type having a series of buoyant tubular sections interconnected by a central cable and provided with a depending skirt. A portion of the skirt that is not attached at the joints is adapted to form an upwardly directed channel which effectively prevents the passage of pollutants through the openings at the joints without the necessity of directly sealing the openings.
