Methods and systems to contain pollution and hazardous environments (CPHE)

A method for inhibiting the spread of pollution within a fluid including a current flow, comprising the steps of:

• providing pods each releasably confining a corresponding membrane-section;
• deploying a base membrane-section, said base membrane-section including an edge;
• deploying harpoon-anchors each including an eyelet;
• deploying said pods into said fluid to drift along with said current flow;
• connecting tension-cables to a perimeter anchor weigh;
• slipping said tension-cables through said harpoon-anchor eyelets;
• encompassing said pollution with said base membrane-section;
• providing un-inflated stiffening-tubes each including a penetration-slit that enables a vertical shaft to penetrate said base membrane-section;
• pinching said shaft;
• closing said slits;
• inflating said stiffening tubes;
• deploying a shaping anchor provided with another tensioning cable;
• attaching said another tensioning cable to an upper portion of said base membrane-section;
• and
• lowering an edge anchor onto said edge of said base membrane.
