The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “All surfaces submerged in seawater will experie nce fouling of organisms such as bacteria, diatoms, algae, mussels, tube worms a nd barnacles. Marine fouling is the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms, algae and animals on structures submerged in seawater. The fouling organisms can be divided into microfoulers (bacterial and diatomic biofilms) and macrofoulers (e.g. macroalgae, barnacles, mussels, tubeworms, bryozoans) which live together forming a fouling community. In a simplistic overview of the fouling process, t he first step is the development of a conditioning film where organic molecules adhere to the surface. This happens instantaneously when a surface is submerged in seawater. The primary colonizers, the bacteria and diatoms, will settle withi n a day. The secondary colonizers, spores of macroalgae and protozoa, will settle within a week. Finally, the tertiary colonizers, the larvae of macrofoulers, will settle within 2-3 weeks.
