Table comparing two products, MCS-SWB and MCS-SWB-HD, with specifications such as overall height, float freeboard, skirt draft, and features.

Our Seaweed Boom is a heavy-duty, flexible solution ideal for saltwater environments to contain sargassum sea grass and other seaweed, preventing them from reaching beaches and shorelines. The skirt is made from a mesh fabric that allows water to flow through while minimizing the risk of trapping fish and other marine life, making it a safer alternative to traditional netting. Designed for easy deployment and retrieval, it features high-velocity towing capability and maximum resistance to weathering. Seaweed Booms are typically available in 50- or 100-foot sections that can be connected to form extensive floating barriers. Available in blue, black, or orange.
