Which Debris Boom is Best for Jelly Fish?
Debris Net Boom for Controlling Aquatic Life
(Tampa, Florida)
Which debris boom would I use if I needed to control aquatic life under the water? I need to stop jelly fish from entering the intake around my power plant.
Thank you for contacting us! For controlling jelly fish, we would recommend the Trash and Debris Net Boom. As opposed to some of our other debris containment options, this boom contains a flotation device on top and a full sized net on the bottom. This net would be ideal in helping catch your jelly fish and prevent them from entering your area. While we do offer a standard sized net that is marine treated, we are always happy to help adjust the net to better meet your needs.
While this net boom would be the best for catching jelly fish, you do want to make sure that your water conditions are not too strong for the boom. As a general guideline, this debris net boom is best for mild water conditions. The current in your waters should not be greater than one knot and waves should not be exceeding two feet. If your area is prone to wind, you will want to make sure that it is not greater than thirty (30) miles per hour.
