Abstract
A barrier for water carried pollutants comprises a series of end to end connectable boom sections containing a flotable material; fluid impervious connectors for the ends of the boom sections; flexible draft members and associated connectors for maintaining the integrity of the boom if it becomes necessary to replace one or more of the boom sections, and means associated with the flexible draft members and the fluid impervious connectors whereby separating stresses are minimized at the end connections of the boom sections.
