Navigating Biofouling Management

When ships trade across the ocean, they can introduce invasive aquatic species (IAS) to new marine environments, posing one of the greatest threats to the world’s freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems. This short video explains how IMO's GloFouling Partnerships and TEST Biofouling projects help to address the issue, particularly by providing training course on biofouling risk assessment, learning about inspection methodologies and in-water cleaning technology.
