<p>A sleeve for collecting contaminants issued from a submarine source (eg. a submerged leakage or sunken oil tanker). The sleeve comprises a concertina section 10, allowing the length of the sleeve to vary with tidal motion and other changes in the height of the water level. Sections of the sleeve which receive contaminants are slidably mounted to lines 2 extended upwardly from anchoring elements 1 on the sea floor. Frame 8 acts to retain the bottom tube section 5 in a preferred shape. Concertina sections 10 and tube sections 5 may be coupled together by means of coupling sections 9 having cooperating interlocking features, such as Velcro. Tank 11 floats on the surface supported by bouys and may have gas pressure valves 13 and oil valves 16.</p> |
