Abstract
A high freeboard barrier for water carried pollutants includes a series of end to end connectable tubular boom sections with each boom section including an upstanding fin and a depending skirt, and further fabric means extending from at least below the water line to substantially above the fin to thereby increase the freeboard of the barrier. The fabric may be fireproof to reduce oil spill fire damage to the barrier. The fabric means may be of the type which extends the length of the skirt or substantially therebelow and the fabric means may be of the add-on type for use with existing barriers.
