Seaweed Control Barrier Details
By simply altering installation plans, the same seaweed control barrier can provide several types of protection for keeping beaches, marinas, and swimming areas clean. Each of these options provide you with an effective and proven way of protecting the shoreline from floating seaweed. For example, when installed in a certain pattern, floating seaweed barrier will block sargassum, floating debris and even jellyfish from entering the protected area. With a slight variation to the installment pattern, the seaweed boom will deflect the floating seaweed to another location. It can also be configured to control floating seaweed by capturing and containing the sargassum for later harvesting.
Depending on your site conditions, you'll want to choose a seaweed control barrier that fits your needs most accurately. For example, a floating sargassum boom is made from 22 oz. PVC for either calm, moving, or fast water conditions. You might choose this type of seaweed control barrier if you are look for a seasonal sargassum solution that will not be permanent.
For a more permanent seaweed barrier, the permanent sargassum boom will provide you with a longer-lasting solution to control. The permanent seaweed barrier tends to last six times longer than other styles of seaweed control barrier, making it ideal for extended use around your beach or shoreline, protecting it from aggressive floating seaweed.
