The moving water floating boom is used in ports, rivers, lakes, and other moving water locations to effectively contain and control debris. Often referred to as a trash boom or rubbish boom, these barriers can be easily installed for swift collection, deflection or containment of unwanted items.

River Boom, Port Boom, and More:
When compared to calm water or marina floating boom, the port and river boom are built with the same fabric, but feature an additional tension cable to help stabilize the boom in a moving water area.
