ABSTRACT:
A remotely disconnectable floating containment boom includes male and female portions of a connector and a release element which holds the male and female portions together when they are operatively engaged. The containment boom includes a remote activating element attached to the release element. The remote activating element can disengage the release element from the male and female portions of the boom sections from a remote location, thereby permitting the boom sections to disconnect and separate.
