Floating Fence to Keep Oil Out
Containment Booms for Oil 
Question: I am looking for a floating silt fence to be installed in a wetland area with mangroves. The purpose of the barrier is to keep oil out of the protected area in the slow moving river. A permanent fixture wasn't required.
Answer: Thank for you for contacting us! Since you are looking for something to help with the containing oil, you will want to use an Oil Containment Boom rather than a silt fence. While a silt fence works to contain silt, sediment, and turbidity, the oil boom is specifically designed to help with containing oil in the event of spill.
