Beach-Trotters - Anti-Sargassum Barrier
These barriers allow sargassum or other algae to be retained while allowing water to pass through its netting. This reduces the risk of being damaged by waves, as well as facilitating the process of aggregating the twill on one side of the barrier.The barrier is designed to stay afloat at a specific distance to maximise the amount of twill it holds back, making it impossible for twill to pass over it. Part of the barrier is submerged to greatly reduce the amount of sargassum that can sneak underneath due to a large accumulation of algae. This is easy to negate completely with the help of boats and proper maintenance.
Mursargaz barriers are manufactured from a tough PVC coated polyester net fabric and the floats, made from high density polyethylene filled with polyurethane foam, are attached in pairs trapping the barrier fabric between them, resulting in a very strong construction that is easy to maintain and repair on site. Mursargaz barriers are available in 25 metre or 50 metre x 1 metre high lengths and can be supplied with reflectors at the ends of each barrier section to increase the visibility of the barrier.
