36 Boom anchor projects generally entail the placement of permanent structures, usually pilings or buoys, where
floating deflection boom can be attached during an oil spill. Placing such structures at the mouths of rivers and
creeks allows for rapid deployment of boom during oil spills, thus protecting upstream wetlands and associated
wildlife.
