Barnacles are intriguing, not only with respect to their importance as fouling organisms, but
also in terms of the mechanism of underwater adhesion, which provides a platform for …

Various antifouling (AF) coatings have been developed to protect submerged surfaces by
deterring the settlement of the colonizing stages of fouling organisms. A review of the …

Calcifying marine invertebrates with complex life cycles are particularly at risk to climate
changes as they undergo an abrupt ontogenetic shift during larval metamorphosis. Although …

This book addresses the environmental issues related to ship** and the natural
environment, including descriptions of and proposed solutions to the issues. Currently …

Fouling of ships and its counter measure—antifouling—is receiving justified attention as a
serious marine environmental problem. If the ship is fouled its fuel consumption will increase …

Due to the environmentally harmful impact of tributyltin self-polishing paints, there is a critical
need of more ecological alternatives. The aim of the present work is to study the joint-action …

This work presents novel map** of the structure and crystallography of the shell of the
barnacle Balanus amphitrite. Calcium carbonate in the form of hexagonal calcite was …

This paper identifies factors that impact reliability and safety of ocean turbines. We describe
how physical and environmental factors will impact the design of its machine condition …

Current antifouling (AF) technologies are based on the continuous release of biocides into
the water, and consequently discharge into the environment. Major efforts to develop more …

Discharges and emissions from ship** can be reduced through different technical
measures, many of which apply similar principles, eg, filtration or absorption. Ballast water …
