Exclusion barrier

An elongate member for use in an exclusion barrier comprising,

• an upper portion,
• having at least one electro-magnet positioned within the upper portion of said elongate member, and
• at least one water turbine mechanism positioned within the upper portion of each elongate member for supplying hydro-electric power generation to said at least one electro-magnet, and
• a lower portion,
• having at least one telescoping mechanism positioned within the lower portion of each elongate member,
• for increasing and decreasing the length of each said elongate member, and
• for providing water flow through the said at least one turbine mechanism for facilitating power generation to each said electro-magnet.

An exclusion barrier comprising a plurality of elongate members extending in a generally upright condition between a sea floor and a sea surface, wherein the elongate members are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows, wherein at least each outer row includes at least three elongate members;

• the elongate members further comprising,
• at least one electro-magnet positioned within the upper portion of each said elongate member,
• at least one solar power generation source securely positioned to the upper portion of each said elongate member for supplying electric power to said at least one electro-magnet, and
• at least one telescoping mechanism positioned within each elongate barrier member for increasing and decreasing the length of each said elongate member;
• the said elongate members each having multiple flexible connecting elements for interconnecting each said elongate barrier member at the middle and/or apex portion thereof to provide an exclusion area;
• and
• a plurality of parallel rows of said at least three elongate members being staggered with respect to each said parallel row to form an exclusion barrier array.
