ECONAD Jellyfish Protection Booms are floating barrier systems designed to protect beaches, swimming areas, resorts and other recreational waters from jellyfish, floating algae and light marine debris.
The system combines a floating boom with a submerged net that creates a clearly defined protected swimming zone while allowing natural water circulation through the barrier.
Floating Barrier with Submerged Net
The system consists of a floating boom supporting a vertical net below the water surface.
The floating section keeps the barrier visible and correctly positioned, while the submerged net helps intercept jellyfish, algae and other floating biological material before they enter the protected area.
The depth of the net can be selected according to local water depth and project requirements.
Water Circulation
The net structure allows water to pass through the barrier while helping prevent jellyfish and larger floating biological material from entering the protected zone.
This helps maintain natural water exchange within the swimming area without creating a completely closed enclosure.
Seasonal jellyfish invasions can significantly affect beaches and coastal recreation areas, creating discomfort for swimmers and potentially restricting access to the water.
ECONAD Jellyfish Booms provide a practical physical barrier that helps prevent jellyfish from entering designated swimming areas.
The system can be installed along the perimeter of:
- Public beaches
- Hotel and resort beaches
- Private swimming areas
- Marinas
- Coastal recreation zones
- Aquatic sports areas
- Protected lagoons and bays
The barrier is manufactured from materials selected for regular operation in seawater and outdoor conditions.
The system is designed to provide:
- Reliable flotation
- Resistance to marine conditions
- High mechanical strength
- Resistance to accidental damage
- Stable positioning in the water
- Simple installation and removal
Jellyfish protection booms can be supplied in individual sections that are connected to create a barrier of the required length.
The modular design simplifies:
- Transportation
- Installation
- Seasonal deployment
- Removal and storage
- Replacement of individual sections
- Adaptation of the protected area
The barrier layout can be configured according to the shoreline, swimming zone and available anchoring points.
The barrier can be secured using anchors, mooring lines, chains and shore connections selected according to the site conditions.
The anchoring configuration should take into consideration:
- Water depth
- Current velocity
- Wave conditions
- Wind conditions
- Tidal variation
- Seabed type
- Required barrier length
- Duration of installation
A correctly selected mooring system helps maintain the position and shape of the protected swimming area throughout operation.
Jellyfish barriers are particularly suitable for seasonal use at beaches and resorts.
The system can be installed before the swimming season and removed when protection is no longer required.
Its modular construction allows the barrier to be dismantled, inspected and stored for subsequent use.
The submerged net helps intercept:
- Jellyfish
- Floating algae
- Seaweed
- Light floating biological material
- Small floating debris
The system therefore provides an additional level of protection and comfort for recreational water areas.
Every beach and coastal area has different environmental and operational conditions.
ECONAD can develop a jellyfish protection system according to:
- Required protected area
- Total barrier length
- Water depth
- Required net depth
- Jellyfish species and expected size
- Wave conditions
- Current velocity
- Tidal variation
- Shoreline configuration
- Seabed conditions
- Available anchoring points
- Seasonal or permanent installation requirements
Based on this information, the appropriate boom configuration, net specification and anchoring arrangement can be selected.
- Effective Physical Protection: The submerged net helps prevent jellyfish from entering designated swimming and recreational areas.
- Natural Water Circulation: The permeable net allows water to circulate through the protected zone.
- Modular Design: Individual sections can be connected to create barriers of different lengths and layouts.
- Easy Installation: The system is designed for practical deployment, recovery and seasonal storage.
- Durable Construction: Materials are selected for repeated operation in coastal and marine environments.
- Additional Debris Control: The barrier can also help intercept floating algae, seaweed and light debris.
- Custom Configuration: Barrier length, net depth and anchoring arrangements can be adapted to the specific conditions of each location.
