A boom for collecting material floating on the surface of a body of water comprising: a first collapsible tube which can be stored either as flat layers of folded material or by rolling it on a roller; transverse seals along the length of the first tube to create a longitudinal sequence of first compartments; and, a second tube within the first tube, the second tube having transverse seals to form a longitudinal sequence of second compartments, these second compartments being generally concentric with the first tube and the first compartments. Pressurized gas communicates with each of these separate compartments so as to provide pressurization thereof.
