Perceiving and Countering Marine Biofouling: Structure, Forces, and Processes at Surfaces in Sea Water Across the Length Scales. [PDF]
LangmuirIn marine industries, severe economic losses are caused by accumulating organisms on surfaces in biofouling processes. Establishing a universal and nontoxic protocol to eliminate biofouling has been a notoriously difficult task due to the complexity of the marine organisms’ interactions with surfaces and the chemical, mechanical, and morphological ...

Application of bubble streams to control biofouling on marine infrastructure—pontoon-scale implementation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 There is a lack of cost-effective, environmentally-friendly tools available to manage marine biofouling accumulation on static artificial structures such as drilling rigs, wind turbines, marine farms, and port and marina infrastructure.

Modelling the likelihood of entry of marine non-indigenous species from internationally arriving vessels to maritime ports: a case study using New Zealand data [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 The establishment of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) in new locations can degrade environmental, socio-cultural, and economic values. Vessels arriving from international waters are the main pathway for the entry of marine NIS, via exposure due to ...

Marine biofouling and the role of biocidal coatings in balancing environmental impacts
Biofouling (Print), 2023 Marine biofouling is a global problem affecting various industries, particularly the shipping industry due to long-distance voyages across various ecosystems. Therein fouled hulls cause increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and the spread
