The system, marketed as Jelly Nets, attaches to the stern of a boat to create a private aquatic perimeter. Fry conceived the project after watching her own children hesitate to enter the water while boating, fearing the stinging hazards often found in lakes, rivers, and coastal oceans. Beyond jellyfish, the netting is intended to filter out various aquatic irritants and surface debris that frequently deter swimmers from enjoying recreational boating trips.
Jelly Nets: A New Shield for Recreational Boaters
Stung by the recurring fear of jellyfish and floating debris, local inventor Christina Fry has developed a retractable barrier system designed to transform the water behind a boat into a secure, enclosed swimming zone. The patent-pending design aims to balance human recreation with the preservation of marine environments.
Designed for ease of use, the lightweight structure is intended for quick deployment and storage. The invention is currently managed by InventHelp and is open for licensing or acquisition by manufacturers looking to expand their marine accessory portfolios. Technical schematics and prototype models are available for interested parties through the Pittsburgh-based firm.
