(Sebastian, Florida)

A "floating turbidity barrier" is a floating geotextile material that has the function to minimize the transport of silt, turbidity or sediment from a disturbed area adjacent to or within a water body.

The type of turbidity barrier will be chosen depending on the flow conditions in the water body, the direction of the water movement, tidal changes, etc.
