Experts from across the world have come together at LJMU to exchange knowledge and develop methods to tackle biofouling.
Partners from India, Turkey and Romania took part in the LJMU biofouling workshop of the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU)/Nippon Foundation-funded project NOFOUL.
Biofouling refers to the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae or small animals on wet surfaces that have a mechanical function, causing structural or other functional deficiencies.
The outcomes of the sessions will be presented to the International Association of Maritime Universities at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in October by the project team, together with the initiation of the team’s IAMU Biofouling Network.
