ABSTRACT:
Artificial "seaweed" or anti-erosion interceptor devices have a plurality of buoyant sheets or fingers roped together in spaced end-to-end relation on a lake bed bottom in patterns or contours which will best intercept sediment in the water to build up the lake bed bottom. The fingers or sheets have rope receiving sleeves at their bottom ends and float receiving sleeves or pockets at their top ends. The bottom ends are also preferably weighted down on the lake bed bottom by sediment filled tubes under the rope receiving sleeves. The buoyant fingers or sheets may be slit at their top ends to provide a plurality of narrow ribbons each having a float at its top end. In place of the individual floats for each ribbon, the sheets may have sleeves receiving a floating rope and this rope in some instances can carry depending sheets with free bottom ends.
