Sargassum accumulation is an increasingly common sight for tourists and residents of the pristine beaches in the Caribbean and Gulf Coast. These shorelines share the common challenge of mitigating seaweed build-up but no two sites are the same. The Orion Series of Booms is designed to collect, divert and control surface waterborne pollutants and is an integral part of any aquatic debris mitigation plan.
