containment boom


Explanation:
A containment boom is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill. Booms are used to reduce the possibility of polluting shorelines and other resources, and to help make recovery easier.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the response! Based on the following paragraph I'm not sure the term you suggested is right though: "pluma de petróleo", here's a part of the paragraph: "influyen para que la pluma de petróleo pueda dirigirse, con menos probabilidad, hacia el noroeste y sureste" WDTY?
