Abstract
A protection apparatus protects a harbor or an area in a body of water or adjacent to a body of water. The protection apparatus floats on the body of water, and includes a plurality of barrier units positioned side-by-side, each of the barrier units includes a composite-based durable barrier structure. The barrier structure is configured to hold a net in place in order to protect an area in the body of water or abutting the body of water from waterborne craft. At least one of the barrier units includes a gate that allows passage of waterborne craft into and out of the protected body of water.
Claims20
A protection apparatus that is configured to float on a body of water, comprising:
- a first composite-based barrier structure, the first composite-based barrier structure configured to hold a first net in place;
- a second composite-based barrier structure, the second composite-based barrier structure configured to hold a second net in place;
- and
- a third gate structure provided between the first and second composite-based barrier structures and respectively coupled at first and second ends to the first and second composite-based barrier structures,
- wherein the protection apparatus protects an area in the body of water or abutting the body of water from waterborne craft, and
- wherein the protection apparatus allows passage into and out of the area in the body of water by way of the third gate structure.
A protection apparatus that is configured to float on a body of water, comprising:
- a left-side barrier structure, the left-side barrier structure configured to hold a first net in place;
- a right-side barrier structure, the right-side barrier structure configured to hold a second net in place;
- and
- a third gate structure provided between the left- and right-side barrier structures and respectively coupled at first and second ends to the left- and right-side barrier structures,
- wherein the protection apparatus protects an area in the body of water or abutting the body of water from waterborne craft, and
- wherein the protection apparatus allows passage into and out of the area in the body of water by way of the third gate structure.
