A containment/exclusion boom (10) includes a boom curtain containing an uppe r curtain portion (12) and a lower curtain portion (14) that are connected together at a central region (22), the upper and lower curtain portions each being formed of a sheet of flexible fabric material that allows the flow of water therethrough; and first and second support systems (24 and 26, respectively) which can be positioned in a body of water and connected separately to distinct positions on the boom curtain; whereby the first and second support systems maintain at least one of, but preferably both, the upper and lower curtain portions in a substantially sloped arrangement upon introduction of the boom into the body of water.
