title: The testing and evaluation of non-toxic antifouling coatings.
abstract: Field testing of non-toxic antifouling coatings has required the development of test protocols that can quantify their performance. This includes the evaluation of the biofouling communities, the measurement of biofouling adhesion using a calibrated water jet and the measurement of barnacle adhesion in shear. Data are presented for several test surfaces, and the results are discussed with respect to the coating characteristics.
