Oil fence
A fence or floating breakwater that is temporarily installed at sea to prevent the spread of oil leaks from tankers, etc. There are various types of fences, such as cylindrical polystyrene foam floats attached with weights and connected together, and curtain-like vinylon canvas with floats and weights attached to the top and bottom.
