The guiding principle is the development of effective and efficient materials, methods and systems for the preventive prevention and subsequent removal of submarine vegetation under environmentally friendly aspects. In terms of applicability, a combination of both physical and chemical processes is conceivable, since a low-maintenance and durable solution is sought. The solution should be practicable in everyday use and, at best, be accepted on the market as a new product. Successful results in the development of new anti-fouling systems should, if necessary, be adapted to non-ship industries. This offers companies the opportunity to expand their market segment and develop new branches of the economy. The optimal solution prevents growth in the long term, is environmentally friendly and pays off for the user.
